NOTES FROM WESTERN YORF

HooDTowN, September 1O.-It has rain
ed almost every day for the last ten days,
and water courses have been very much
swollen. It rained nearly all night last
night There was also a good deal OF vino.
Bullock's creek is from hill to hill over the
bottoms this morning. There was not
much cotton open before the rain, but what
was is about ruined, as the bolls rot when
ever they begin to open, inc the cotton
falls out. This is a gloomy time for farm
erS.
lam sorry to note that Mrs. N. Il. Hood
has relapsed, and is now in a critical con-
dition.
The we'll at the parsonage has been COM
pleted; the water is good. 1t will supply
a long felt need.
Your correspondent visited Hickory
Grove on the day of the election and
found the people sanguine over the future
of their town. There are already three
stores there, and Mr.. w. s. Wilkinson
will soon open up the fourth. He will
have his building completed soon. 1t is a
frame building IS 10 feet.
It. NJ. Whisonant & Co., of Hickory
Grove, bought the first bale of new cotton
sold on this market, on the 30th ultimo,
for which they paid II cents. It was sold
by Mr.. J.. r. Wilkinson and classed mid
ding. I hope they will be able to estab-
lish a good cotton market, as it would be
a great convenience to the people of the
surrounding country.
Mr.. T. M. Whisonant is building a large
dwelling house, and l learn that Mr.. Jas.
Castles will build soon. RAMBLER.

NOTES FROM BLACKS.

BLACKS, September 6.-This evening
the threatening clouds hang over our heads,
sending forth pelting rain, and if it so con,
tinues for twelve hours longer the rapid
streams will be swollen, and the corn on
the bottom lands will be totally destroyed,
and business generally impeded all over
the country. .

evangelist, followed by a large number OF
friends and relatives. proceeded in n
procession to the residence of the brides
parents, on Kings creek, some six miles
distant, where they were met by a large
~concourse of friends to greet them. BY
early candle lighting there assembled in a
large and spacious hall the guests and rela-

performed in a ripe and divine manner.
After a friendly grasping of hands with
the bride and groom, they were followed
by a large delegation o~fjovial guests to the
dining hall, where they partook OF the

LETTER R 0 TEXAS.

M1NDEN, Rusk Co., Texas, August 81
The cotton crop in this State will not be
more than a half yield this year, and in
some portions of East Texas there will
not be a half crop, on account of drouth
and the ravages of the boil and cotton
Worms
For the past three weeks we have had
rain, and ~late-planted cotton is doing well.
If it escapes the blight of the worm the
yield from the late-planted crop may yet
be good.
Our farmers are very much annoyed
over the high prices of bagging and ties.
Last yearthe ginners roped up their cotton
at 80 cents a bale, and this year the charge
is 81 20. The farmers consequently think
they are much imposed upon.
The corn crop is good, and the present
prospect is that more than enough to sup
ply the demand will be made.
There is much sickness now in this
county.
Mr.. Minor Clinton died at his home,
near Pine Hill, in this county, on the 18th
instant, aged IS years 3 months and 10
days. He was born ald raised in York
county, S. c., and moved to Texas in the
year 1885. He and his wife lived together
GO years. T >. Z.

LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.

Rock HILL, September 1O.-This is the
thirteenth day Of rain for our section.
Last night a continuous rain fell, and at
this writing it still continues. The dam
age to the corr and cotton crop cannot be
estimated. The farmers are all blue: The
bottom lands are flooded, while the up.
lands were seriously injured by the wind
blowing the corn and cotton down, and
badly staining all the open cotton. We
long for sun shine. ,
Little Mary, the only child of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. C. Wilborn, died on Friday last,
aged two years. Her remains were inter-
red in Ebenezer Cemetery.
John Harvey Nicely, OF Chester
county, has purchased the residence OF Mr.:
John S. Stultz, on Hampton street, ana
will occupy the same in a few weeks.
Mr.. E. B. Rock, manager of the Western
Union Telegraph at this place has recently
enlarged and furnished his Office hand
somely.
Most of our merchants have returned
from the Northern markets. Alarge pro-
portion of their goods is being received
over the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chi
cago Railroad. In fact, the depot officers
and their facilities at this place, are taxed
to their utmost capacity to accommodate
their patrons.
The new stores of Frew Bros. and j. II.
Toole on Main street are receiving their
finishing touches and will soon be ready
for, occupancy.
AIR. w. j. Cherry, who was recently
detected a member of the State DEMOCRATIC
Executive Committee, has been notstfed
to attend a meeting of the committee to be
held at Columbia on Friday next. In the
selection of Mr.. Cherry as a member OF
the committee, an excellent choice was
made, he being one of the most enthusias-
tic young Democrats in upper South Caro-
lima:
.XLittle Minnie Gather, infant daughter
of Mr.. Samuel Campbell, died this after
noon, aged 10 months. -,
EThe trustees of the Rock Hill graded
School met to-day and elected Miss Clark
son, of Charlotte, as an assistant teacher,
and Miss Annie Rawlinson, OF Yorkville,
as principal of the music department;
The selection Of these young ladies will
give general satisfaction. There are now

NOTES FROM UNION COUNTY.

ETA JANE, September 8.-Another WIS.,
itation of Providence has overtaken our
country and destroyed a large amount OF
corn on the low lands. Constant rain or
cloudy weather for more than a week has
done the cotton much damage. 1t is now
ready, much of it, to open, and sunshine
is much needed. That open now in the
fields has been drenched with rain and
stained by dirt and cotton leaves until its
market value is a long way under the cost
of making it.
At this writing it is impossible to give
an intelligent idea of the amount OF dam.
age done during this wet spell, which still
continues, with little prospect OF clearing
off. BY next week we will be better able
to do; and hope it will not be so great
after all. The cloudy weather, with occa-
sional showers, I think, will be a beneht
to the submerged corn, where It'll not BUR
led up in mud. The sediment will wash OH
the stalk, ear and blades. A great deal OF
it was not under water longer than 10
hours, and much of it not that long. Upon
this we base our hopes that 1t is not SO
badly damaged after ALL:
Capt. Ramsaur and his corps OF engl-
neers, have resumed their duties survey
ing the Augusta Division of the Three Us
Railroad. We understand they will first
90 to Blacks; then to Hickory Grove.
Evidently, the line will soon be located to
some point on the main line, when the
work of Throwing dirt" will begin in
earnest.
Our country is remarkably healthy for
this season of the year. We have not so
far heard Of single case of chills and fever
this season. Should the present spell of
weather continue long 1 don't see how we
are to escape the malaria arising from
the accomplishing matter along the water
courses.
SEPTEMBER 1O.-Yesterday evening and
last night we had the heaviest rainfall Of
the season and Broad river is now as high
as the August freshet of last year n Still
rising. Thickety and Gilky's creeks are
higher than they have been for years.
The bridge at Thomson's mill, on Thicke-
ty, is washed away. Damage to crops can't
be estimated now. SIGMA.

safety, and after the track has been surfaced
ND, it will have to be submitted to the inspec-
ton of the State Railroad Commission. ltmay
reasonably be expected, however, that all this
will be lone before the close OF next week,

NOTES.

The tracklayers reached Yorkville Yesterday
having been delayed with their work by reason
Of the heavy rains of Saturday evening and
Sunday night. At II o'clock A. NJ, the track
had crossed Liberty street, but before reaching
that point, and when it had been laid TO the
grounds selected for the depot buildings, the
occasion was celebrated by the discharge OF
eighteen rounds of dynamite. The tracklay-
ing force, under Capt. Taylor, the contractor,
numbers about 200 laborers, and their move
ments in stringing out the track are observed
by a large number of spectators.
Capt. Taylor laid iron yesterday, passing the
crossing of the Chester and Lenoir Railroad.
In that vicinity he will select a camp for his
force, and to-day and perhaps tomorrow, will
be engaged in putting in a turn-table and side
tracks on the depot grounds. About. AZ miles
of the track east Of town is yet to be surfaced
up, which will also be done this week. When
this work is completed Capt. Taylor will re-
sumo tracklaying with the intention of reach
ing Blacks as soon as possible.

GENERAL POLITICAL NOTES.

-Cleveland's letter of acceptance was
given to the press for publication in the
dailies of last Monday. It'll lengthy pa
per, treating fully and s4uarely all the
public questions of the day. We will pub
lish the letter in full next week.
The Arkansas State election was held
on Monday Of last week. Returns from
all but nine counties give the Democratic
State ticket a majority of 1880. The 9TH
er counties will not materially change the
vote. Both houses of the Legislature are
Democratic. The proposition for a consti-
tutional convention was defeated. 1t is
claimed that forty counties voted in favor
of prohibition.
The following State nominations were
made last week: Connecticut, Democratic
for Governor, Luzon 3. Morris; New
Hampshire, Republican, David II: Good
Russell, at present mayor of Cambridge.
The platform adopted by the Massachu-
sets convention endorsed and adopted the
platform of the St. Louis convention. 1t
also contains the following: "We cordial
ly approve the provisions of the Mills
bill and the placing of wool on the free
list" Another paragraph denounces the
policy proposed by the Republican party
of abolishing the internal revenue tax as
a substitute for the reduction of the tariff
the President recommends thus. of giving
the people cheap whisky instead Of cheap
necessities.
- The outside public may gain some
faint idea of the great political battle that
is just getting fairly under way, in every
township and county in the State of Indi-
ana, when it is learned that the Democra-
cy has $500 local speakers throughout the
State who have already canyassed their
own counties and are now exchanging
with adjoining counties. The majority OF
this army of orators are assigned for
speeches every night in the week for two
or three weeks ahead, when new assign
ments will be made. The Democratic
State committee facilitates the work by
arranging the assignments for the local
speakers through the district and county
committees. The list of local speakers on
the book of the Republican State COM.
mittee is not complete as yet, but 1900
names are listed, which is an average of
nearly fifteen to each of the ninety-two
