Mr.. Pridgins, an old and respectable
preacher, has suddenly decided to preach
his own funeral sermon, and has aet for
the day the second Sunday in April, and
the place little church a few miles this
side of High Shoals.
Mr.. Pridgins has ordered his son to
make him a coffin, which he directs must
be perfectly plain and locked with pad.
lock. He says the coffin will be placed
by his side in the church, and there, in
the presence of his friends and family,
who are requested to wear mourning, he
will tell of his life and pay suitable
tribute to his own memory. The news
has spread rapidly all over the surround.
ing counties, and it is thought that the
little church will not be able to hold the
vast congregation.
Mr.. Pridgins is thought by some to be
very eccentric, but is considered by his
neighbors one of the smartest men in the
county. He has been a minister of the
Gospel for many years and is extremely
popular in his neighborhood. His mind
is perfectly clear on all subjects, and be
is unusually we'll informed for county
preacher. he desires that the press be
present at the funeral to occupy seats 10
the amen corner. As yet be has made
no disposition of his body after the SER
mon is over, and it is thought that he
will then retire to his home and lead q
quiet life until the time comes for him to
occupy his coffin for good. As yet no

arrangements will be made for the
funeral before the eventful day arrives.

remarkable that during the long number
of years that the Savannah, Florida, and

A commendable feature of the casualty
vas that no discrimination was
shown between the races in the efforts
to rescue each from the debris and
alleviate suffering, but as fast as found
kind hands took care of them. Many
touching scenes were witnessed and
many Instances of devotion strong in

Copies of the circular given below have
been sent out by Mr.. D. K. Norris, Presi.
dent of the South Carolina Alliance, bet.
ter known as the Tillman organization
The farmers of the State through their
association asked the Legislature to es
tablish separate agricultural college in
behalf of the Janguishing agriculture of
the State and for the control of their
money in the custody of the State, viz,
The inspection fee on guanos and the two
donations from Congress, amounting to
upwards of $4,000 annually. Both of
these demands were denied US.
Is public opinion, as voiced by the
farmers of your neighborhood, satisfied
with the action of the Legislature on
these questions?
Is it the sentiment of your community
of farmers to acquiesce in the action of
the Legislature, whereby the South Caro-.
lima University was enlarged and the
separate agricultural college denied us?
In your judgment, as made up from
such an expression of general opinion as
you have been able to gather, can your
county be carried for a separate college
ifthe question is submitted to the farmers
in the approaching canvass?
Please give the names and postoffices,
of one or two farmers who are actively
interested in the aims and objects of the
Farmers Association in your vicinity.
Please answer and return as soon as
convenient.
