A MODERN SAMrsoN.-A colorcd mar named
Brown Aiken, from Charleston. says the Colum-
bia Ioeman, has lately been giving exhibitions
of his marvellous strength. Yesterday he lifted
seven hundred pounds of iron, and later in the
day, on n small wager, sheuldered n 400 pound
bag of cotton and threw it on wagon. This
modern Sampson is man of powerful build,
but only Of ordinary size.

wonTH TnTAL.-Corn cobs dipped into mo-
lasses and suspended from limbs in the trees
have saved many crop Of plums. The ourcu-
lilo will lay his brood in the sweetoncd corn cob
instead of the pums. From six to twelve pre-
pared corn cobs are sufficient for on ordinary
sized tree.
Those who have fine plum trees should pre-
serve tho above and give the remedy trial next
year. We are inclined to believe there is some
virtue in 1t, and it will cost nothing.

nen- Butter, Chickens and Eggs arc awful
scarce in this town. Dry bread, with OCCASION
ally dab of lard or spoonful of bacon gravy
on it, is common for supper. The sight of n
few cggs-cven if little stale would give us
hope that tho hens had not retired from business.

Tic Cotton Crop.

The Cotton Crop.
That the cotton crop of Union will not be over
half an average is now well ascertained. The
late cold dry weather has affected it worse than
the long drought in the Summer. The August
crop, which, it was hoped would make up the
deficiency in the July crop, will turn out worse
than it has for years back

THE CHESTER DIFFICULTY SErTLED.-It is known
by most Of our readers that much dissatisfac-
ton has existed for some time in the Democrat
ic ranks Of Chester County in consequence Of
the re-appointment of the old incumbents of the
Offices Of Auditor and Treasurer of that County,
aad Gov. Simpson has been roundly berated for
as it was stated, ignoring the choice Of o major
ity of the party, as expressed through primary
election in Chester, which nominated Messrs. Nc
Faddcn and Lucas for those Offices. A Mass
meetingwas held at which very strong language
was used against the Governor and n committee
appointed to wait on His Excellency anu present
to him certain resolutions then passed. The
committee has waited upon the Governor and
the following is published in the State Bulletin,
as the result of the interview:
TO the People of Chester County:
The committee appointed by the mass meeting
to present the resolutions in relation to the ap-
pointments Of Auditor and Treasurer for Ches.
| ter County to his Excellency, the Governor, beg
leave respectfully to report: That after an in
tersiew with the Governor they find that the
statement left file in the Executive office cre-
ated the impression on his mind that majority
of the voters, and very large majority, were
| opposed to the appointment of Messrs. Mead
| den and Lucas and that he could not remove
without cause the appointees, they having re-
ceived their commissions under special act Of
the Legislature, which act provides that they
hold until the close Of the session Of the Legis
| laturc in 1880.
That the resolution adopted by the Executive
Committee directing The Chairman to forward
the result Of the primary election to tho Cover

Our Cskon Market.

Our Cs&on Market.
Without intending TO excite any unkiad COM
petitiobin neighboring markets toward us, we
feel itlp be our duty to the Farmers of Union
Count5ao inform them where they can get the
most their cotton; and in doing so we shall
adheroErictly to such facts as we can prove
beyond dispute. On Thursday or Friday of last
week TIVE parties went from the neighborhood Of
Crtss Ksygao Spartanburg and sold their cotton
for $50; at the same time a party from that same
neighborhood brought his cotton to Union and
sold it for l0l-45 cents in favor of the Union
Market On Monday and Tuesday last about
the same difference in favor of Union prevailed,
according to the Spartan report and our cotton
purchases
Monday, at tSpartanburg. ........"....0f
union,..." lG09-C0
luesday, at opnrtanburg,........
ohlon,...". (19-3o
With these transactions and figures before the
people we claim that Union C. ii. Is the best
market for Union Farmers to sell at and as to
fair, honest, straightforward dealing, we chal
lcngc comparison, in prices, measure, weight
and quality, of merchandise purchased here with
purchases made in neighboring markets. We
venture the assertion that any cash purchase
made at Spartanburg will be duplicated by any
merchant in Union, upon the same terms. With
the cotton market higher and goods of all kinds
fully as cheap at Union C, H., where is the
sense and economy of our Farmers in going any
where else to sell and buy.

HEAVY FAILURES IN NCHARLEsfoN.-ChnrleSto
Sept 19.-The commercial circles were much
agitated to-day by the announcement of the
suspension of the banking and exchange house
of James Adger s. Co. No statement has yet
been made of the liabilities, which are reported
to be large. J. E. Adger g. Co., wholesale hard
ware dealers, also suspended payment to-day
They arc involved rs indorsers on the paper Of
James Adger & Co. 1t is doubtful whether eth
er house will resume. Walter & Co., cotton fac
tors, suspended yesterday, and their failure pre-
cipitaed that of James Adger s. Co.
The Peoples Bank Drd,cn into the Vorte1.--
Charleston, s. c., September 20-Thcre is no
authentic statement yet of the liabilities Of
James Adger Co. They are currently rcpor-
ted to be nearly 50 ,00O, 900. The Peoples Bank,
which is one of the losers, made an assignment
| to-day and will wind up. This is a State bank,
distinct from the Peoples National Bank, which
is not affected.
The books of the bank show that its assets are
S40,0 900 above all its liabilities, and upon their
showing Mr.. Lcngnick, the President, states
very positively thnt the assets of the bank are
ample to pay every duar of its liability, and
that deposiurs necl feel no uneasincss.
The savings department, which is specially
secured, will, he thinks, be able to pay every
dollar of its liability by the first of Janury next.
GoLp FOR THE MtLLIoN.-W Washington, Sep
tcmber 19.-Thc Secretary Of the treasury is
| sued to-day circular authorizing the treasurer
of the United Stat and the assistant treasurers
| at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
| CINCINNATI, Chicago, st. Louis, New Orleans
and San Francisco, to pny out geld coin, as we'll
rs silver coin and notes, upon current obliga-
tions of the Government, and upon advances to
dsbursing officers as may be convenient and
practicable.
Transfers Of coin for this purpose will be
made to any assistant treasurer, when neces.
sary, by the treasurer of the Unit States. Upon
application to the treasurer of the United States
in this city, and upon receipt by him of n GER
titicate of deposit issued by United States as
sistant treasurer in New York, stating that
there has been deposited with him legal tender
notes in the sum of q hundred dollars, or null
iiplcs thereof, he will also cause to he shipped
from the mint at Philadelphia to the 'depositor
at his risk and expense the like amount of coin.
The exchange of gold coin for United States
notes at other sub-treasury Offices than New
York, appears to be provided by Section 1851
Revised Statutes, but it is believed that pay
mens of coin, Us above authorized, will enable
persons to secure all that may be desired.

WE were ut the depot Wednesday
evening last when the excursion
trains passed on their way TO Charles
ton, and, at Il rough guess, We would
say there were $500 passengers
aboard the two trains. This number
was increased by q hundred moro
from our town and county, including
ladies, farmers, doctors, dentists,
lawyers, merchants and loafers. Mr..
Receiver Fisher is doing great work
not only for Charleston but our coun
ty towns, as every excursionist, before
going, buys a new suit Of clothes
which would not be done were there
no excursions to Charleston. If the
hotels, restaurants, ETC., would give
the samo excursion rates there is no
telling how much small change would
be spent. Try it gentlemen.

HE Investigations made by North
ern newspaper reporters have put be-
yond all dispute the question as to
the ability of the colored man and
brother to sneeze. 1t seems that his
nasal possibilities are about equal to
those of the white, and that, perhaps,
he is the bigger sneezer of the two.
We are glad that this vexed question
has been satisfactorily settled, as VIC
were very much afraid that it would
prove disturbing element in the
next campaign.

never to be used for the purpose.
The Saponaccons Tooth Powder is

A young Kcntuclsian named Thomp-
son, who was happily engaged to 4
fair widow, got intoxicated while in
the company of some exciting com
panions, whereupon the lady broke
the engagement, declaring she would
never marry 4 man who drank. This
decision so worked upon the man 8
mind that after moping about for a
few days he descended into an unused
we'll and held his face in the shallow
water until dead. We suppose he
came to the conclusion that there
wore too many fools in the world, and
he would lessen the number by taking
himself out.
