morning and evening to large and attentive

service the sacrament OF the Lords supper
was administered. Several accessions were
made to the church during the meeting.
An old fashioned quilting was given by one
of our ladies one day last week and in the
evening the young people spent a most en-
ioyable time. This was something rather
novel for this day and time and was very
much enjoyed by all.
On last Wednesday evening our young peo-

The Election.

The election in Abbevilie county passed OF
quietly. The Republican party in this local.
ty having temporarily gone out Of business
there was little to be done. and there was M
excitement Of any kind, rs far as we hav'
heard.
Arrangements had been made for the recep
tion OF telegraphic reports from all section
of the country, and w. o. Bradley, Esq, hat
been appointed by general consent as receive
OF dispatches, but owing to sickness In hi
family, he could not be absent from home
and he asked ]. c. Klugh. ESQ.,, to act for him
His Office was crowded with persons from
town and country in the early part Of the
night, and all were anxious to hear the news
The greatest interest was centered on New
York.
The first dispatch was received between sew
en- and eight o'clock, and from that time or
toward twelve o'clock the interest increased
The majority OF the news seekers adjourned
about that time Some thought that Cleve
lands prospects Of carrying New York wert
good while others were respondent. Without
New York Democratic victory is deemed out
OF the question.
Considerable anxiety was manifested about
luulAuA Auu every GuluS pciIeiiuluS W Iho
State was listened to with great interest, bu
when news from North Carolina or Virgins
came, there was evident impatience. The
Southern States are deemed all right, any
way, and as an addition to the Southern
news 1t was urged that the telegraphic head
quarters be at once put In telegraphic commu
nication with Elberton, Ca, and we might
add with Cedar Springs, too, where Cleveland
is reported to be long way ahead Of Harri
son.
Telegraph Operator Coogler was busy at his
post during the night, and his office was
thronged until after midnight with those who
sought to hear the messages fresh from the
clicker.
At first. we thought to publish each separate
telegram as 1t was received, and had some Of
them put in type. but owing to the meager.
ness, and the lack Of completeness, we have
concluded to walt for more definite accounts.
While as q matter Of fact, the kilograms
were fresh and interesting at the time as they
followed each other at intervals Of about hall
hour, yet when a new one came, the old one
had lost much OF its interest, and for this rea-
son we have felt at a loss TO know exactly
what Is best for US to do. We have concluded,
however. to give but little space this morning
TO the election, trusting that our readers will
not charge us with error Of judgment

The fall, so far has been unusually favora-

withstanding the severe freezes which are
likely to occur, except below the parallel OF
81 or 39 degrees. In the piney woods and coast
We have before stated that we do not advise
farmers generally in the cotton belt to SOW
wheat. While it Is well to diversity crops, and
as nearly as practicable 10 produce the sup
| is limit in dlvcrsifying beyond which II will
not be found eXpedient to go. Almost with
out exception every farmer in the South
should produce all the food necessary for his
stock, n full supply Of bacon, lard. milk, but
| ter beef mutton, fruits and vegetables. These
| items are mentioned because tho soil and eli
mate are perfectly well adapted to their pro-
ductlon, and they are or should be considered
Indispensable to comfortable living. But our
conditions are not SO generally adapted to the
production of wheat, although flour Is one OF
| the articles of prime desire, and most farmers
therefore find 1t inexpedient to plant this
! crop.
| There are localities on most farms in the
"hill country" and some even below the met
amOrphc formation where wheat Is ABOUT as
certain and reliable crop MS II IS anywhere.
These localities are usually found on the high
est points, the soil being gray or chocolate
and underlaid by good stiff or grayely clay.

wheat ono has been found to give better re-
suits than the old "blue stem" or 'purple

ated manure gives the best results, cotton
seed having long been standby for wheat or
other small grain, though rather too rich In
ammonia. better manure Is one that may
be composted of cotton seed meal and acid

KEEN IN THE COUNTY.

= o.
Supervising Principal Keen in
the county is said not to.have too
much love for the negro. When
DIR. Francis was trustee In that
division, which is the 9th. : Keen
aswell as Mr.. Powell, opposed the
appointment of Mr.. w. 81. Black,
but DIR. Francis, Notwithstanding
the opposition appointed him and
it now turns out that young Black
is one, if not, the best teacher in
the 9th school division. This
same Keen now is opposed to
the reappointment Of James But
Ter. The ground of complaint is
incompetency.
If a man after graduating from
the High. school and passes a
teacher examination, is ,incomper
tant to teach the alphabet, he
ought to, be removed, But. who
is it will believe such a charge,
but, men who are afraid to exer-
else their authority. The very
charge upon it's face is too redic-
uleus to consider, Prof. Gregory,
the trustee of the 9th division,
while it, is well to listen to, what
the superintendent and supervis-
ing principal Keen, says, ought to
exercise his own Judgement >, in
this matter. A 4th grade, pupil
is sufficiently competent to teach
the alphabet, much Jess a, man
who has graduated from the
High school. This ). is putting a
small estimate on the colored High
