Our citizens were somewhat alarmed by
the severity of the wind and the heavy
rainfall on last Sunday morning, about 4
o'clock. 1t was thought by many to be an
o'hes cyclone. 1t seems to have been gen.
erai all over the County. In several Sec
tons considerable hail fell, some of the
stones as large as guinea eggs. We have
heard OF no damage. The wind, however,
blew down considerable fencing and dead
| timber.

The Barnwell People voices our sentiment
in the following: "The candidacy for Dem.
ocratic nominations in our County promi-
ses to be large and lively. This journal
will, as In past campaigns, favor free and

be open to communications from candi-
dates and their hackers who will furnish
cash to the printer and arguments to the
public. No Others will be admitted. The
people of the County want good servants,
and every nag must run on its own merits.
They who trust to cliques and combna-
tions will surely come to grief and tote the
trail.
A correspondent of the Rural Ne,u- Yorker
describes the following method by which
an extraordinary crop Of watermelons was
raised: Holes were dug ten feet apart each
way, eighteen inches square and fifteen
inches deep. These holes were filled with
well-rotted manure, which was thoroughly
incorporated with the soil. A low, fist hill
was then made and seed planted. When
the vines were large enough to begin to
run, the whole surface was covered to the
depth Of q foot or fifteen inches with wheat
straw. The straw was placed close up
around the zines. No cultivation whatever
was given aftervard; no weeds or grass
grew. The vines spread over the straw,
and the melons matured clean aud nice.
The yield was abundant, and the expert

ly worth trying.
