Notes From SedalIa.


Mr.. EDIroR. We have been thinking all
the while that We would find something new
10 write you before this time, but it seems
that news don't start around much in our
quiet ns'ghborhood. People in this section
have been generally busy sowing oats for
the past few days, and a good many are
trying 10 continue the sowing while the
wsathsriA fine, though it is so cold aud the
ground 80 frszsn they can only ploW about
half the day. We do hope the weather will
be 50 that all may SOW as many spring oats
as they will need, for we all know that .
long crop Of oats goes 8 good ways toward
msetings short crop of corn, especially
when the short crop of corn has to be haul
ed about l6 miles over n, rough roads rs
there is in the county.
We are beginning to hear the cry Of chow
much cston l can make this year. Iwsn't
to make 50 much cotton, and l don't know
as I'll plant much corn" and such like ex-
Pressions. Now We are all ready TO say
don't do that way, but you plant more corn,
and let me plant more cotton.
Now, 1.-Two could get in the habit Of being
ahead with eur corn, like it is in some pla-
ces; for instance, in Gsorgis. By the way,
somo Of our neighbsrs have been out to
Georgia on a visit. TIVE or three weeks, and
We hear they say people in Georgia have
corn TIVE or three years old, and had it piled
about in open houses and in pens. Not
uithstanding the sloso rocky soil there, corn
and gourds grow. We heard there WAS .
man there that wanted to make q half bushel
to measure his corn and wanted to. mako il
out efa gOurd, so ho sawed of about Two
and half feet Of the top ofthe gourd and
had enough left to make his half bushel.
| Oh my wouldn't We hate for anybody TO
get dip n our csrn pile with that gourd?
We regret TO learn that onr talented
young friend and promising physician. DIR.
Mcleod, is TO leave US for North Carolina
We hope he may be as successful in the fu-
ture as he has been in the past. We hope
Frank Is net leaving us on account Of the
financial oppression OF the people, for if We
| are poor We don't keep Doctors poor like we
do the preachers.
We feel like We are keeping up with the
times when among other enterprises we
think Of the nicely finished and we'll furnish
ed new store Of WiIburn & Co., near Crsss
Keys. and the large dry goods and gre cery
| establishment at Sedalia under tho mAnage.
| ment and vim Of the new firm Of Minter, Bo-
DO, and Rstehford. Somebody thinks there
| is money in the county, though it don't
| make much difference, so they sell on time.
This community mourns the loss Of one Of
| its most amiablc and pious women and de-
voted wife, Mrs Margaret Sparks, who pass
ed from tn. trials ofthis life Tuesday morn
ing last, to that resting place from whence
NO traveller ever returns.
Tell yoI we think the answer TO his exam
| pie is, Il steps Is, a los; while A gained q
half step in time, B stepped far enough to
| gain l-6 Of the distance passed by A, so tbe
! 60 steps which we have to start with is
equal 10 6.6 OF the distance TO be gained.

D% Everybody were astonishod when
they awoke and looked out doors last Mon
day morning, at seeing the ground covered
with snow. Whom they went to bed The
night before the moon was shining bright
and tho skies were clear, but about mid
night they clouded over, the white flakes
began noisclc,sly to fall, and by daylight
they had spread their beautiful winter
carpet over The earth, covered the rosfs Of
houses and sncased the limbs oftrees in q
downy garb. Noisslessly and suddenly it
came, and IS quietly and suddenly it dis
appeared. by noon there were no traces Of
it, except shallow moisture in the ground.

Cure for Blind Staggers.


Mr.. EDIToR.-As meningitis, or blind
staggers, is now prevailing as an epidemic
amongst the horses in this county. several
valuable animals having died, Of my knowl-
edge, and others being attacked. prompts
me to mako known a very efficient remedy,
which l learned during tho war, when Sc
we're and fatal type attacked the horses in, 1
believe, the Fall of 1868. The remedy was
suggested by Gen. Hampton, and proved
very successful, If used in time:
Throw the animal, and with . sharp
stick, the size Of the finger, one inch short
Of the length from upper angle Of nostrl,
and lower angle Of the eye, external meas
urs,) grasp it tight in the hand, introduce
it into the nostril, making several quick,
short, upward motions, until blood flows
freely. Let the animal rise upon its feet
and letit bleed till it becomes faint. II
bleeding does not cease, plug one or both
nostrils with old rags. Ifthis does not sue
ssed in arrssting the bleeding blow into the
nostrils finely pulverized sulphate of iron
Hoping this may provo blessing to some OF
my fellow beings, prompts me to mako it
known. A. T.. FAINT.

THE CRIME OF THREE NEGROEs.--
New Orleans, February THE Times Dem
ocrats special from Summit. Miss, says
News has reached here Of one Of the base. I
crimes ever committed in this community
Mrs. Sallis Gordons house, in Amite county
twelve miles from here, was visited by three
negroes during heavy rain storm. They
asked for shelter and were allowed to come
into the house, where Mrs Gordon and her
FIVE children, the eldest being girl IA
years old, wero seated by the freside. The
men at once made known their purpose,
and at the point Of 3 pistol mother and
daughter were forced to submit. The
mother offered money and cotton to pro-
tect her daughter, but the offer WAS refused.
The community is wild with excitement
One negro was caught and was inme-
distely dispatched. The others are at large,
but every effort is being made to catch them.
The negro who WAS caught is supposed to
have made confession duplicating num-
Der Of others"

No. We had visit last Saturday fro u

No. We had visit last Saturday fro %
our wbilm cslorsd citizen and political
Mpirant, June Mobley, who has now the
prefix Rev. to his name and is preaching
the Gospel Of peace and good will to his race
in Sumter Ceanty.
June, however, still talks politics as glib
BY as over, and thinks We could bring the
colored vsters into tho democratic ranks II
We would give them liberal share Of the
of6css-ssy about three out Of seven. He,
however, says We must pick our candidates
from the most intelligent Of his race. That's
all very good talk for the republican parry.
The democratic party tried that plan soma
years ago, and the republicans laughed at
Us, and called US fools, and it will be re-
me mbered by our readers that we thought
otoo, at the time, and were laughed At by
our own party friends for advocating O
straight out democratic policy. And We will
take the privilege Of saying hero that while
other papers may claim tho distinction of
being the first to advocate tho straightout
democratic policy in this State. we advanced
itin tho TINES year before any other pa
per suggested it. We were ridiculed
throughout tho State for entertaining such
an idea that square straightout democratic
fight could DO made successful under the
then existing strength Of the two parties,
and by many papers We were called straight
out Stokes in derisisn.
What Juno is fishing for, we don't know;
but we do know this: We've tried his plan
Of political amalgamstion and found it to be
. complete failure in every respect. We have
won over more colored voters to tho demo-
cratic ranks, by straightforward course
tsward their race, and by giving them an
honest aud fair democratic government, than
We ever did or ever could by presenting our
selves to them with 1.-TWO faces under one
hat" We arc getting along very well with
cur present government, and whatever
changes may be necessary, for the good Of
both races in the State, the democratic party
will not be slow or unwilling to make. We
cannot afford to go backwards in tho great
forward movement of the world.
We do not see such liberality extended to
the colored voters in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, where the colored vots.is heaviest at
the North, as juno asks for them in the
South

MERCHANTS WANT PAYING CUSTOMERS AND
FARMERS WANT CHEAP GooDs.-Spartanburg
February THE County Alliance will meet
here Saturday. They are now working at
the .upply problem. They have secured re-
ductd rates on many articles in common
nse by farmers. If they can work the mer-
chants down to q smaller per cent on their
goods and get themselves up to prompt pay
meIts it will be better all round. The NOR
ch.rt has suffered much in the past by cred
i'irg men who are very slow. The interest
On past due accounts eat up the profits. One
may have nice little balance to his credit
on his books, but few slow men and others
who do not pay all will reduce this balance
very much.
The two-sded problem is this: The Al
hHnce II CT want cheaper supplies, and the
merchants want customers who will pay
promptly on the very day they promise. If
the Alliance can bring that state Of affairs
nb.ut il will do good.-Nr,cs and Courier.

COLLAPSE or THE PACIFIC GUANo Com

The works OF tho Pacific Guano Company

to John c. Ropes, of Boston. Tho liabili
tie. are about Sl,O00,00O. The csmpany's 9
headquarters are at Boston and besides
works here, they have mines at Beaufort,
s. c., and works at Charleston, s. C. The
selling agents of tho company are Glidden
Co., Of Boston, who are endorsers Of their
paper to . large amount. The latter firm
will probably assign.
John G. Ropes i, Of the firm of Ropes,
Gray & Loring. He says that the Pacific
Guano Company assigned, as the Lynn
Savings Bank had become alarmed and had
attached the property. Ropes is the TEN.
portry assignee, and meeting Of the credit
ors will be called to-day, when n permanent
assignee will be appointed. He says: 81

The Suits OF THE STATE.-The Pacific
Gusno Company 10 the defendant in the
somewhat celebrated case Of the State Of
South Carolina against the Pacific Gualo
Company. The litigation extends over the
past seven or eight years, and is being con-
Quoted on the part Of the State, by Messrs.
Smythe & Lee.
It's BUSINESS IN CHARLEsToN-Ths bust
ness of the company in and through
Charleston was very largo and profitable.
The failure, therefore, is not attributable t.
any losses here. The belief is that the
failure was caused by the discovery that
their guano islands in the Pacific, which
were deemed to be of enormous value, have
not turned out as anticipated, and are prac
tically valusless in comparison with the
cost. The company, so far as could be
learned yesterday, kept no accounts in tho
banks in this city.

owner was made utterly helpless by stroke
Of paralysis. The farmers in tho vicinity
