Peerless Cotton Seed.

r. FAIR PLAY, s, {. February 20, 1890.
Editors Keo,oee Courier planted one
ncre in Peerless cotton seed laat year, a,,5.
made two thousands pounds Of seed cot
ton, without any extra fertilizing. Had
the season been favorable ! would have
made between two thousand Ave hundred
and three thousand pounds; but tho sea-
son being wet tho cotton grew on until
frost and.a great many bolls did not ma
ture. The best of farmers saw the cot
ton whom it was boiling and pronounced
1t the best cotton they ever saw; thought
it would make two heavy bales. have
used several varieties of seed, including
tho Simpson Bohemian, Jones, Dunoan's
mammoth prolific, Peterkin, the Bancroft
or green seed, Sanders prolific and othors,
but think the Peerless beats them all
fruiting. w. II. GRUBBs.

DEAR COURIER Last Friday afternoon,
about o'clock, an unusual smoke about
Mr.. e. P. Vernor's promises aroused tho
suspicious of the noighborhood, and it
was soon determined that his dwelling
was OH fire. When tho writer arrived at
the spot, about half an hour after tho
alarm was given, the dwelling, outbuild-
ings and contents of all were in ashes.
Tho fire was first discovered by Mrs.
Werner, who gave the alarm at once, and
Mcssrs. i. L. and l.. w. Werner, with tho
assistance of others, tried to cxtinguish
it; but they soon found that they were
losing time and turned their attention to
the work of moving out furniture, &C.,
but the wind was very high at this time
and tho flames increased SO rapidly that
they were unable to save only few
things from tho house, which had but u
few minutes before contained almost all
that heart could wish. Tho flames were
communicated from tho dwelling to the
barns, crib and stables very quickly; but
most all the stock was rescued through
the wonderful presence of mind exhibited
by the Mcssrs. Werner and Mr.. j. p.
Stribling, who, we believe, was first to
reach the scene of disaster. One large
fattoning hog caught fire and burned up
like ball of tar, while another was so
badly burned that it could not survive.
The extent of tho fire was simply terrible,
leaving the chimncys of the dwelling and
t1n 1,1o o1, 30 4, r
this once cherished home. We estimate
tho pccunary loss ut $4,000 to $4,000.
Mr.. T.. p. Vorncr was absent when tho
fire occurred and did not return until all
was in ruins, and although ho is quite an
old gentleman, hc met his misfortune
with unusual strength, and remarked
that it was not SO bad as if ono of his
family had been lost. Col. John S.
Werner, of Columbia, and Mr. d. p.
Werner, of Grccnvillc, have both been
over looking after the interest of the
family. The cause of the fire is not
positively known, but it is supposed to
have originated from an imperfect stove
fluc. We learn that Mr.. Vcrncr contcm
plates rebuilding near the ruins very
soon.
Miss Lizzie Parkins, of Greenville,
who has been visiting Miss Emmic Vcr-
nor, returned home on Saturday last.
Mr.. J.. w. Vorncr is boarding with
Mrs. E. Il. IIughs in ortcr to be near his
training track.
Mr.. John j. Lewis, of Piclscns, and his
daughter, Mrs. VIM. S. Hunter, of Seneca,
were in town one day last week.
Mrs. w. II. .Iayncs continues to i'm
prove and we hope she will soon be up
again.
Mr.. Jude Ivcster has bought Mr.. j. j.
Ballcngcr's saw mill interests with Mr..
l.. ID. Stribling and will try saw milling
awhile.
Mrs. NJ. S. Stribling, Jr., has been very
unwcll for several days, but We hope she
is some better. n.

Augusta, GA, has over $1O,000,-
600 invested in cotton mills and
other manufacturing industries, and
all are prosperous, paying handsome
dividends and yearly extending their
output In 1870 the United States
census gave Augusta less than 10000
population. In 1880 the census re-
ported less than $4,000. The cen.
sus of 1890, the Chronicle claims,
will give not less than $4,000 people.
