The Clouds are. Flown.

The abundant crop this fall has ad>
ministered sweet quietus to the anx~
iety of many farmer throughout the
county. Sqaro accounts arc the best
oplate for nervous debility; ard the
sweet refreshment that results from
such q state of affairs must now be>
long to Pickens County in common
with her citizens. The dark cloud Of
past indebtedness, which so long OVER
shadowod our County, is now dissipa>
pated, and we arc, left to eniov tho
light of prosperity. With proper
management on tho part of our Coun~
ty Commissioners, this happy state of
things must continue, and as it goes
on, ovory department of industry can,
not fail to realize its beneficial effects.
These beneficial effects will react upon
tho finances OF the county and make
it capable, in ovory instance, of meet,
ing it's obligations. immigration is
setting in, and the value of property
of every description must keep pace
with the spirit of Improvement. That
short>sighted prejudice which dreams
Of big corn cribs and pumpkin patches
in the West had bottor push back hel
bonnet and look around before she
buys her ticket for the trans Missipp
Rbourn. This County is deficient in
nothing that insures ultimate and per.
nlanent success to the thrifty and in.
dustrious; and no soil or climate
gnarantees a rich harvest to him that
soweth not. But in every country
indolence must give place to energy,
caprice to patience; and he that is
praying to be rich must give place to
him who is working like thunder for
a living.

DENVER, November 27.-The Load
vile Chronicle, says: '!Sixty laborors
were buried in snow slide yesterday ,
near Chalk Creek, on the Kokomo
extension of the Denver and Rio
Grande Road. About IL a. m. three
pine trees were noticed TREMBLING.
and in an instant the slide came with
q loud roar, tearing up the track for
a distance of quarter of mile and
burying sixty men. John Dine was
killed, nineteen mon badly injured
and eleven others slightly. The slide
carried the track over the heads of the
mon, and most of the wounds were
probably caused by the iron striking
them.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Nov. 20, 1880
Dear Sentinel: The two Houses met on
Tuesday last, the 23d instant, and proceeded
at once to effect an organization. After the
organization and swearing in Of the newly
elected mombers, the Senate selected Senator
Witherspoon, Of York, as temporary presiding
officer. Col. II. Stobo Fnrrow, Of Spartanburg,
was reelected Clerk Col. A. D. Goodwin, of
Orangeburg, was reelected Reading Clerk,
end Mr.. L. r. Marshall, Sergeant at Arms.
In the House, Hon. J. C. Sheppard was
unanimously re~clccted Speaker; Col John T.
Sloan, Clerk z. NJ. Anderson, Reading Clerk
and John d. Brown, Sergeant~at- AIMS.
All the State officers have handed in their
annual reports, md there exists no cause for
delay in legislation. l find that there is q
strong sentiment in favor of calling q Cousti.
tutional Convention at as early day rs prac-
ticablo' also find very strong sentiment
in favor of n strict registration law. Both
these measures, think, wil,pass at this ses-
sion.
Tho Governors message is q very fine State
paper, and he makes very gratifying exhibit
Of our financial condition and q very inter-
esting comparison between the expenditures
under Radical and Democratic administrations
Upon this subject the Governor says:
To show what progress has been made in
the way of reform and economy under the
Democratic administration of the State gov
ernment which went into power four years
ago, | ask your attention to the expenses of
the State for last year as compared with SINH
lar expenditures for the State while the Le-
gislature was in the eutire control of the ,Ra-
dical party, taking the average annual ex~
pendiures of the State government for the
six successive years beginning Decembes lst,
1861
For these six years there were
paid and appropriated for
contingent funds S876, ,S32 IA
Or, on annual amount Of 62.SO5 49
Contingent fund for last yoar $500 II
Difference s IS, 9S5 81
THE COST OF THE SESSIONS.
Expenses of the General Assem-
bly, for tho same period were $2147, ,430 81
And besides this amount there
were outstanding bills payable
issued on account of Legisla>
tive expenses for same period 1925 Is
The average cost Of each regu-
lar session being about 32O,4O5 16
Legislative expenses last year 4O5O4 80
Difference $270, 900 81
Average expenditure for each
regular session for the six
years for attaches and contin-
gent expenses has been about $259,424 65
Let ii be borne in mind that
this sum represents only the ao-
tual payments made. There
was large amount Of unpaid
claims in the form Of legislative
pay certificates, estimated at
not less than $500,O0O. The
corresponding amount Of last
