THE MORMON PREACHERS.

The Shelby, N. c., Aurora learns that two
Mormon preachers have recently made their
appearance in the southern portion of Cleve-
land county. They have held several meet
ings in the neighborhood of Whitaker, on the
Airline Railroad, and also near the Kings
Mountain battle-ground, in this. county. 1t
is stated that they have received and baptized
several converts into their church. These are
doubtless the same 'apostles" alluded to in
the ENQUIRER last week, noticing which, the
Greenville News, regretting the absence of tar
and feathers in York county, suggests that
there is an abundant growth of hickory switch
es. We, however, would not counsel any vio-
lence towards these men. While such treat
ment would be morally wrong, it would only
serve to create for them sympathy among a
certain class, and give them prominence
which they could not hope to obtain if the
people would entirely ignore their presence.
We presume their real object here, as the pur-
pose of similar visitations Of emissaries from
Utah in other States of the South has proved,
is more for the purpose of inducing emigration
to the land of promise, than with the view of
establishing churches in our midst and it
will not be denied that those who would follow
them can we'll be spared.

CONFEDERATE ROLLS.

Attention is directed to the advertisement
of Adjutant-G General Manigault calling for as
sistance in compiling the roll of South Carroll
ma troops who served in the Confederate Ar
nv. This roll is designed to be permanent
and official memorial of the soldiers of this
State, of every rank, who served in the Con-
crate Army, and it is hoped that all who can
will readily and cheerfully assist the Adjutant;
General in carrying out the intention of the
Act of the Legislature. Besides the Act and
the notice of the Adjutant-G both Of
which are published in this issue, we append
the following general instructions, as guide
to those who may aid the Adjutant- General in
the praiseworthy bnt onerous task imposed
upon him:
Original rolls will be obtained from any and
every source practicable, and returned if de-
sired.
After collecting all the names of those serv-
ing in the different commands, the Adjutant-
General will prepare duplicate rolls, one of
which will be returned to the officer highest in
rank, of the different commands, who may be
surviving, for revisal, who will also be charged
with obtaining all further information posi-
BILE as to transfers, promotions, wounds, killed
in battle and other particulars.
The final rolls to be filed in the office OF the
Secretary of State, and which are to be tran
scribed and printed in book form, will not be
made out until every effort to make them COM
plete and perfect has been exhausted.
Blank rolls are being prepared and Will De
supplied, together with envelopes anu stamps
to prepay them when returned, as soon as the
Adjutant- General shall have established com
munication. And, as the time is limited, it is
earnestly requested that they at once respond
to the call made upon them.

crease or decrease Of acreage. The result

North Carolina, 80; South Carolina, 80 :;
Georgia, Sc; Florida, 90; Alabama, 86 Mis-

sas, SO Tennessee, 60. This increases some
what the indicated yield of December returns,
but still falls short of the indications Of the
conditions in October, when the average was
&C, against SIS in October of 1880. The aver
age of condition pointed to about 5ss370, 600
bales in October, 1879, when the average was
so. On this basis of comparison by October
the condition would point to a result fully as
large. 1t is probable that the panic and de-
preston naturally caused by reduced produc-
tion has had slight conservative tendency
upon these final returns, yet the discrepancy
between these and previous returns of condi-
tion are not wide, showing an inevitably large
reduction in the yield. The returns of area
make the increase of acreage in 1881 about
five per cent, and the total acreage about six
teen and one-half million acres. The returns
Of losses by the cotton caterpillar indicate an
aggregate loss of about 300, 600 bales. The
heaviest losses are in Florida, IA per cent. !;

losses occurred in North Carolina and Tennes-
see, and none in Missouri and Virginia.

PEACE.BREAKER AND BURGLAR,

On Saturday last, one James S. Knight, a
white man, of this county, was committed to
jail on warrant charging him with assault
and battery with intent to kill. The warrant
was issued some time ago, and he had evaded
arrest by going over to North Carolina, where,
at Hickory and other points, he passed under
the name of James Adams. Circumstances
gave rise to the suspicion that Knight, alias
Adams, was the perpetrator of some success
full burglaries at Hickory during the winter :;
and to satisfy himself on this point, Mr.. Fred
S. Hill, of that town, whose store was entered
on the night of the 18th of last January and
$3.50 worth of goods taken therefrom, came
down last Tuesday, accompanied by Mr.. D. F.
Lutz, both of whom recognized Knight as the
man who at Hickory called himself Adams,
and when Mr.. Hill charged him with the rob-
berry of his store, he admitted that he and one
j. j. Fewell were the guilty parties. Fewell
halls from Yorkville, where he was partly
raised, but his mother, now known as Widow
Wright, moved from this place to North Caro-
lima few years ago. Fewell has not been ap-
pretended. We learn that stolen articles from
Iron Station and other points, in North Caro-
lima, have been recently found in the possession
of these men, who carried on little store at
stJugtoWn'' in Lincoln county.

The services over his remains at Trinity
Church, Charleston, on Thursday were at

were the ministers of the various city churches
and many prominent business and professional

A. NJ. to P. NJ, in memory of the deceased.
At II O'Clock the funeral cortege reached the
church, and the casket containing the remains
was borne within the walls where the voice
of the lamented dead had so often been heard
pleading the cause of the Master he served so
we'll and long. The services were opened with
the hymn NEARER my God to Thee" /" sung by
trio with organ accompaniment. The Rev.
w. P. Mouzon, the presiding elder of the dis

at the church were concluded with an earnest
prayer by the Rev. E. J. Meynardie. The
remains were then conveyed to Magnolia Gem

resting place in that beautiful "City of the
Dead.n

POLITICAL POINTS.

The Georgia Republicans are now coming
to the front in Washington in the scramble fol
spoils.
The Nashville American thinks that Gen.
Grant is coming South early, in order to beat
Blaine. If Blaine were announced for visit
to the North Pole, Grant would want to 60 to
see that he didn't get his work in ahead of him.
The boiling Readjusters in the Virginia
Legislature passed resolutions on Thursday,
declaring that the proper place for Gen. Ma
hone is Washington attending to his Senatorial
duties, instead of remaining in Richmond die
tating legislation.
- The Chester Bulletin learns that the whis-
ky question is to be made an issuein this years

It is said there will not be a lack of candidates
who are willing to espouse the anti-prohibition
cause.

tives seem determined to have their own way
in the contested election cases. If so, there
will probably be net gain to the Republicans

A Washington dispatch says that South

opinion that in the face of the amendments
to the election laws recently enacted by the
State Legislature in the interest of the Demo-
cratic party, the best policy the Republican
party of that State can adopt is one of master
" inactivity, until the Democrats fall out
among themselves over an issue which will
permanently split their party. The amend
ments referred to practically put the Demo-
Gratis in absolute control of the registration

not be larger than last year. Owing to the
fact that the farmers did so well with corn
last year, more corn will be planted than usu-
al. There is very little wheat or corn in Ne

take an extraordinary cold Spring to injure it.
The acreage is larger than last year. Similar
reports come from Iowa, Missouri, Illinois,
Michigan and Indiana. There are very few
marketable hogs in the country.
