| Mr.. Edmund Foster, of Richland, sent
us this week a sample Of the molasscs
which lie made this season from new
kind of cane which has recently been i'll
troduccd into the county, known as the
Orange cane. The sample is of Il golden
yellow color and tastes very much like
the old time New Orleans syrup. This
new variety of cane is very prolific, and
it is thought will make moro and of bet
ter quality than the old fashioned sor-
ghum cane.

"Jim Todd, of Walhalla," is just now
the fruitful theme Of some of our I,nu
rcns contemporaries. They allcgc that
Jim has been appointed postmaster, at
Clinton, in that county, and that he is
Il scallawaG of the first water. The Clin-

Jim. But '.lim Todd'' is not from Wal
halll, and we have never had citizen bv
that name. Contemporaries try il on Jim
Todd, of Pacolct, as the Ncwbcrry Oj-
S"rr"r reports il, and see how that will
fit, and thereby render Scant Justice To
Walhalla.

elected by eight ma aji"rity There is an
intimation in the papers that these gen
tlrmen represented the Woodrow and
anti-Woodrow feeling in the Synod. Mr..
Rose is anti-Woutlrow. But we arc clad
to see that the question has not been
