Rain at Last.

hain at Last.
rains since last Friday. Perhaps those Farmers
who hcve not been able to keep up with their
cotton picking would have preferred the that rain
had held of two weeks longer; but by that
time the oat crop would have been lost which,
considering the short corn crop, would prove a
very serious loss next Spring. Tue Turnip crop
is about ruined, and that will be seriously felt,
unless sowing this late should be successful
The weather has turned quite cold, making fires
and winter clothing necessary. 1t is now feared
that we shall have too much rain, and greatly
damage the cotton remaining in the fields.

Our Governor Abroad,

Our UoVornor ABROAD.
few weeks ago call was made for the Gov
ernors Of the thirteen original States to meet at
Philadelphia, Pa, to consider the propriety and
feasibility of making II national demonstration
upon the centennial anniversary of the battle of
Yorktown, and to make preliminary arrange
ments for the same. In response to that call
our noble Governor met with the other Cover
nors last week. and from the following report to
the Columbia Register he must have made most
profound impression upon the minds of the vast
assemblies of people whom he addressed while
| there:
PHILADELPHIA, October 19.-The reception of
| the Governors has been continuous ovatior.-
Governor Simpsons response TO the welcome at
independence Hall and his speech in the even
| ing to vast crowds in front of the Continental
Hotel were enthusiastically cheered. His ex-
preston that "all we need to realize tne grand
possibilities OF the future Of this great crountry
was closer intimacy and interminglng of the
masses of the people Of the various States, for
ge,fulncss of the past, and unity and harmony
on tho part Of the whole American people, was
| received with the widest storm of repeated ap-
plnusc lasting fully fifteen minutes. His senti-
ments of good will and brotherly feeling
| from the people of the land of Sumter and Ma
| rion have excited the warmest feelings Of the
| people generally, and congratulations have
| poured in upon him from oil parties.

A Rara Avis.

Rara Avis.
Mr. p. p. Hamilton, Sr., caught at Wood s
Ferry, on Broad River, two weeks ago very
large "soft shelled' Turtle. which measured ut
least 1S inches across the tack-we have not
heard its weight. This kind of Turtle is very
rare so high up in the waters Of the State. but
clught in seins, the past year, in the same
vicinity. We don't know that anugly Turtle looks
much like q "rare bird" but the varmint's ap-
pearance in these quarters looks very much MS if
it must have used wings to get over the many
shoals obstructing its passage such distance up
the river.

dramatic talent lying idle about her young La
dies and gentlemen, which should be cultivated,
for the improvement Of those who possess it as
we'll rs occasionally for the amusement and recre-
alton of the citizens generally. One of our
brightest and best Ladies has suggested that a
Dramatic Association be formed at once, by the
young Ladies and gentlemen of the town, with
at least one weekly rehearsal. Wemost cordially
endorse the suggestion. If it would do nothing
more it would create more social intercourse
among the young people and thereby exercise
