to have been the work Of IN incendia-
ry.
EdgeEeld Idreniser Capt. Scott AL
len has received the Democratic nomi-
nation for the vacancy in the House of
Representatives.
Georgetown Times and Comet: AL
though the salt hMs been UP oiT rivers,
we don't think the rice crop damaged, as
water was changed frequently, by means
of the hoodgete. Our planters all appear
hopeful. Our municipal tax this year
is only half of what it was last year.
Happy Georgetown!
Lancaster Ledger: Two colored men,
with imperfect tools, secured in two days
50 worth of gold from the johnson mine.
This mine is being worked on a small
scale, and is said to be the richest in the
county.
Walhalla Courier. Large quantities of
new cross-ties are being gotten and plac-
ed along the Blue Ridge Railroad from
WalhalIa to Anderson. One hours
time between Walhalla and Anderson
could be saved ift the road-bel of this road
was put in q frst-class condition as it
ought to be. Two hours and ten min
utes is the time allowed for running be-
tween these two points, distance of
thirty-four miles.
Beaufort Sea Island Nctcs: An effort
is about being made to obtain Executive
clemcncy in favor of George Gary, who
is now awaiting execution for murder on
the 29Lh of August. Mistakes will
happen, it is said, in the best regulated
family. The town authorities at Port
Royal disinfected their town with plaster
Of Paris. 1.-The British bark PdctOlus,
Capt. Clark, arrived in Beaufort thirty
one days out from Bahia, Brazil, in bal
last. The captain made application to
be allowed, as he had clean bill of
health, to discharge his ballast at one of
the docks in town, but this, after advise
ment with the board of health, the mu-
nicipal authorities refused.
Cheraw Mcm,:. The first depot on the
Cheraw and Salisbury Railroad will be at
Braswell's, fourteen miles from Cheraw.
There will be only three stations between
Cheraw and Wadesboro'. New -four
from North Carolina was hauled in wag-
ons to this place for sale few days ago.
1.-THE prospect for good cotton crop
in this section is better than it has been
for years. The yield of small grain was
enormous.
Colleton Democrat We think the
management of the South Carolina Rail
road by Receiver Fisher is most excel
lent, and if those most interested would
keep him at its head after it passes out Of
| his hands as Receiver, we think the road
would soon become valuable property in
stead of dead capital as it now is. Mr..
Fisher is first-class business man, and
understands the management of railroads
thoroughly.
| Laurens Herald. Two old colored SER
vants-Adam and Chloe Garlington-
man and wife, died near this place last
Sunday, aged nearly 100 years-the for
mer 90 and the latter few years young
er. This old couple were owned for a
number of years by the late John Gar
lington, and were freed as his property
at the close of the war. They died with
in few hours of each other-the man
at 9 o'clock in the morning, and the wo-
man at the same hour on the evening OF
the same day.. .As far as reported the crop
of the county foots up as follows, as nearly
we can approximate the figures: Wheat,
about $4,000 bushels; oats, something
over 10000 bushels. The small grain
crop was remarkably good this year, and
we hardly suppose the above figures rep.
resent the full crop by at least one
third.
Marlboro Planter: Strange to say, that
Notwithstanding the long drought, the
cotton crop is simply magnificent. Corn
on the river is a complete failure. Six.
ty bushels oats to the acre, and twenty
| four of wheat, is what one of our lawyers
says he garnered off his farm, besides the
pickings in other places. Another says
he gathered fourteen wagon loads of oats
from one acre.
Newberry Ne,cs Col. VIM. Fair tells
us he threshed this season upwards ot
$4,000 bushels of oats and 5000 bushels
of wheat, besides large quantity of rye
and barley. And that, too, when there
were so many threshers in the field
There must be plenty of oats and wheat
somewhere in the county.
Orangeburg Times: Mr.. Irwin A. Till
died at his residence in Orangeburg, on
Saturday, of septictemia, disease oi
blood poison, brought on or aggravated
by hair fastening in his throat while

Orangeburg Democrat: Mr.. w. r. Da.
Wis, near Fort Motto, while trying to ride
an unbroken mule, on Tuesday last, was
thrown and severely injured. His thigh
is badly fractured, and may require am
putation. Mr.. Davis is about 55 years Of
age.
Yorkville Enquirer: There is a probabil-
ity that the Yorkville gas works will be
put into operation before great while.
NJ. j. r. Eichberg, Of Atlanta, practi-
cal man, is now here for the purpose OF
inspecting the works, and entertaining
propositions looking TO 1eviving them.....
