| understand this passage, it means that
whenever we draw near to God In prayer,
we are to do so. having our bodies washed
with pure water, Baptism is an lnltiatory
rite. but this only refers to a daily habit,
snioined upon believers. Mahomet taught
bis disciples that prayer, to be made accep-
table to God. must be offered, ''having our
bodies washed with pure water; and it is
easy to understand that he learned this
doctrine from the early Christians, with
whom he was, at one time, intimately asso-
ciated.

An cid gentleman whom l knew, fell in
to the habit Of having chills. No remedies
gave him any permanent relief:-the chills
would return, and all through the fall and
winter months he was feeble. One freezing
day, when everything out of doors was
coated with ice, he was feeling so mlserably
i'll and nervous, that he determined to ven
ture out in the open air, let the consequen-
ces be what they might. He owned . mill
across the creek from bis house, which was
reached by descending d very long, steep
hill. To the mill he directed his steps and
on reaching the foot bridge, it was so slip
perry with ice, that he lost his balance and
fell splashing into the water. He struggled
out wet to the skin in the ice cold water.
And a long, steep hill was to be climbed
before he could get back to the house.
Thinking his life was endangered by his
wet clothing, he hurried up the hill with
all the speed he could make, and as soon as
possible, got into dry garments and covered
up snugly in bed. Found himself In . glow

More Buildings.

Our brief notice last week In reference to
the erection Of new houses and house rent in
our townhas attracted tho favorable attention
of several Of our 0itizens. All must admit
that with two good colleges in operation in
our town We should have u larger number und
better class of buildings for tho purpose of
renting to persons who desire to live hero
temporarily to school their children. Wo
cannot expect an increase of population or q
full patronage to these institutions unless we
are able to accommodate with neat residences
such families rs dosiro to oomo here, If
some of our moneyed men would improve
vacant lots by erecting neat cottages of fve
or elk rooms with necessary outbuildings, our
population would increase and our business
interests improve. Such buildings could now
be put up for fvo or six hundred dollars and
could DO rented at sis TO eight dollars per
month. Besides Us q town grows in popula-
ton now enterprises spring up, and new
ncrenso Of population follows, in mnhy DISCS
to largo extent. Cities start in small towns
and aro the fruits of public enterprise among
FIRST settlers. Nothing can form q moro at.
tractive magnet for population than good
educational and church facilities These VIC
have. and good houses to rent would surely
DO occupied, aud from such inor ease Of popur
lasion would flow now enterprises and the
Investment Of cnpital here. This is tho road
to Development. a@4 ,

A Review Of the Situation.

WAsuINaToN, Juno 2.--The President and
members Of tho Cabinet in conversation to-
day intimatcd quito strongly that tho question
of another extra session could not bo consid-
cred rs settled, although it is not approhendcd
that under any circumstances another session
will bo callod during the hot weather. Tho
Attorney General has already received o
number Of communications from tho United
States Msrshals aud others Interested setting
forth that groat embarrassment will be caused
in the work of tho courts by reason of the
failure Of tho appropriation. Tho possible
embarrassment is perhaps, however, over
estimated. The Attorney General says he
can have no control over the matter further
than to officially notify tho marshals Of the
condition Of affairs, and that it rests with
them, on their own responsibility, to incur
tho necessary expenses requisite for the
proper administration Of the duties of their
offices. OF course no doubt need exist that

The Crops Drought, Go.

For the past two weeks wo have had an
opportunity Of seeing large part of the
farming lands in this and Pickens County,
and of observing tho condition Of the crops,
the efficiency of labor and the prospects of
tho fall harvest.
In all our travel we have heard but ono cx.
preston Of opinion Of tho labor Of tho County,
and that is, that 1t has been moro reliable and
more active than at my timo sinco reconstruc-
tion. 1t seems that loafers and Migrants, Job
men, from whom days work now and then
could bo had, have othor gono to regular work
or left tho country Even about Walhalla, it
hns been specially noticed, that tho crowd Of
idlers seen Of evenings and Saturdays in
years past, about barrooms and on the
streets, are no longer to be found. TO get n
floating hand this yenr has been almost i'm,
possible hero. and wo found tho same thing
existed in the County. Tho people, white
and black, havo gonc to work, either as
renters. land ownors or regular lnborers fol
tho year. Tho area planted is perhaps larger
than over before, and tho dry season, with
tho constant labor Of tho County, has alone
saved our people from food Of grass. AS
it il, our observation is, that tho crops bas Q
been thoroughly cultivated.

land naturally is poor, but it lies so we'll us
to be capable Of the highest fertility, having

production Of wheat and cotton, it has for
several years yielded as fine average crops as
any part of the county. Lands hero are
cheap and offer great inducements for invest.
mcnt rs the future of this section will prove.
TIE DROUGHT.
The sections visited by us, both in this
county and tho adjoining counties Of Georgia,
have suffered severely from drought. Wo
also hear tho crops on Keowco and Littlo
Rivers, as also in the neighborood of Seneca
City, and Fair Play, have beon
seriously injured. With the exception
Of small stroaks hore and thcrc, tho
entire county below Walhala has had no
good rains in from five to scvcn weeks, and
evidences of it are scon in the dwarfed cotton
and corn on oil our uplnnds. We havc
heard farmers from different sections assert
that the cotton crop had been cut of ono-half,
whilo others estimate tho loss on tho crop Mt
one-thrd, and few think it not seriously
injured if we have good seasons from this
time on to fall. The cotton is certainly very
small for the time Of the year, and wo think
we cannot make above two.thirds Of an ave-
rage crop. Without the wood we cannot
expect tho fruit, and we think it too lato to
mako both weed and fruit. Tho bosG cotton
folds we saw will not average above ono foot
in height, while in many places We saw folds
not above six to nino inches high. We no..
ticod further that tho blooming season was
as early as usual, showing the stalk had
begun to put on fruit before it had attained
proper weed. Wosaw in several places cotton
from seson.'H nino inches high with ono and
two blooms on the top Of tho stalk, and wo feel
sure there must be both second growth and
fsuit before q good crop can be expected.
Tho weed has grown very littlo for three
| weeks and cannot grow without rain. The
