We take pleasure in announcing to
our subscribers and citizens that Mr.. ID.
II. Allison, late associate editor of the
Live Oak InteNigencer, has connected
himself with the Times, and will move to
Jasper and commence his labors with the
quill about the 18th instant.-Jdsper

General Logan, it is said, will not
write a regular history of his war doings,
but will only publish volume of remi-
niscences of the war. This plan will, per-
haps, enable him to avoid abiding to that
Confederate regiment he is said to have
started to raise for the Confederate SER
vice in the spring Of 1861. -Savannah

Some Of the newspapers are discuss
ing the pecuiarities of the mosquitoes in
different sections of the country. 1t seems
that the Pennsylvania insects are regard
ed the most musical, while those of New
Jersey are the most business-like. For a
combination Of good points it is believed
the chimers and artesian well-boring mos
quitoes Of Macon will take the CAKE

"A South Florida Fruit and Vegeta-
BILE Fair is a thing talked of for this win
ter. 1t might be made very fine and
advantageous exhibition but would hard
ly be profitable to its stockholders. There
is no way to make such thing win finan-
cially but to go into it with view to
making it permanent-continuing from
year to year. Then, in time, it will pay.

&c. Fitz Lees opening speech in
the Virginia campaign was very sue
ccssful presentation of the issues of the
canvass, and gave Wise and Blair--who,
it seems, might with strict propriety be
called otherwise some hard nuts to
crack. There are great many features
in the present canvass in Virginia which
will recall to the minds Of the people of
South Carolina our own desperate strug-
gle for honest government in 1875, and
the Democrats of the old Dominion will
receive from no quarter more sincere
sympathy and encouragement than from
their friends in the lately PROSTATE but
now happy and prosperous Palmetto
State.-Ne,os and Courier
We are waiting with great curiosity,
says the New York Evening Post, Re-
publican journal, to see if the Republican
party is really going to follow the lead
OF Senator Sherman and the Ohio aud
Iowa platforms, cling to the sectional
issue as Its most powerful argument in flu
ture contests. Such a course seems in
credible in it's foolishness, but it is BY
no means impossible. If it is adopted, it
will simply show, that the party is hope
lessly stranded in bourbonism, with small
chance ofregaining power during the rest
of the century. The Democrats could not
ask for a course which would be more
completely in their favor. The country
is not going to move backward on this
issue. 1t voted upon it last fall, and
voted it down. 1t cannot be induced to
consider it seriously again.
Modesto" who signs herself yours
in behalf Of decency," writes to the Chi
cago Nescs:: 81 was panied to read in
your morning paper praise given to the
acting of Sheridan's School for Scandal,
at McVicker's last night. Such a low,
indicate, obscene exhibition have never
seen before. It ought to be Kissed off
the stage. These modern plays are be-
coming as immoral as they are disgust
ing. 1t is indeed sad disgrace that
such man as the writer of this vile,
senseless trash should disgrace the Office
of commander-inchief Of the army of tae
United States. =" The Ne,os humorously
commenting on the letter, expresses the
sentiment that Gin consideration of the
youth of the playwright, and ofthe bright
promise Of future greatness which his first
work gives" the conditions noted by
the correspondent should and can be
overlooked.p !ji aea sfh
