News from Silver,

SILVER Sep Ga trip to Salem this week
afforded me much pleasure. l stopped at
Mr.. G. L. Emanuers. You see in him not
only patriot but farmer. His farm is q
model of neatness This is characteristic
of all Marlboro men. I enjoyed his grape
vine, one of the largest and finest. The
grapes were delicious.
l was most agreeab!y struck with the
workmanllke manner of the Pocotaligo
causeway. Mr. E. G. Horton, who had the
work under his direct supervision, has most
cre6itably to himself and to the county
done excellent work The county ought to
be proud to do honor to him, for he makes
an admirable officer and good commissioner.
| passed over also the northern prong OF
Black River where Commissioner Hobbs was
ut work. He too has his hands full. His
work Will last for time to come. The money
spent on these c:,uSeways will add much to
the public travel. It's what should be done
to every causeway in the county. The pres
ent system of labor in road duty does not
meet the demand.
Salem has more bridges than all other
portions of the county combined, conse-
sequently tile outlay Of money for that por-
ton is greater. Other new bridges over
new roads must be built. Salem is rapidly
growing in wealth and Improvements. The
great want of Salem is railroad facilities.
Her people are hospitable and self-sustaln-
ing.
Crops as a general thing are very good.
Most of the corn is exceptionally fine. Cot
ton to great degree has suffered in many
places with rust, consequently crops L be-
lieve have been cut ten per cent. short. 1t
may be with fair prices the farmers may
keep above high tide.
On the 9Th looked with anxious solicl-
tude to see the editor of the TINES at Pano-
Ia. There is much life among these Pano-
laites They love picnics. They enjoy lites
pleasures. The TINES should have had q
representative You doubtless would have
enjoyed happy day. Tom was simply a
spectator without bid, and not as re-
porter.
Politics has quietly subsidized. Now and
then You hear some one say delegates did
not voice the sentiments of the people. Be
this as it may You can be assured OF one
thing: that some here did betray the cofi-
dence of the people. They did not voice
the sentiment or majority Of their club.
The convention plan may work with unDl-
ased minds. But if prejudice is allowed to
rule and govern, as we think was done IN
some instances, then always give us prl-
mary.
Silver is on a boom. We have now four
trains day; freight rapidly transported.
A fellow can leave here for Charleston in
the morning, attend to all business, then be
home to his supper. TONI

Stackhouse Nominated.

FLORENCE, Sep. 9.-The Democratic con-
vention of the 9Th congressional district
met here tonight in the court house. There
being no other nominations Col. E. T..
StackLouse of Marion, was unanimously
nominated for congress.
The following resolutions were offered by
Delegate Crosland, of Marlboro:
WHEREAS, the Tlllman faction of the
Democratic party is so tremendously il the
majority, and in all fairness Governor j. P.
Richardson should in all such counties
have given the majority OF commissioners
Of election to the majority; and whereas, in
some instances the county executive COM
mittees have suggested their commissioners
and Governor Richardson has entirely ig-
nored these recommendations. and has ap-
pointed il nearly all cases solid Anti-Till-
man commissioners Of election, thus SEEM
ing determined if there be any contest in
the coming election to give the election into
the hands Of the rule or ruin faction, and
perhaps straight into the hands of the Re
publican party; therefore be it
ReSolred, That this convention do unqual-
ifiedly condemn such action on the part OF
the Governor as revolutionary, and charge
him with using the Office given him by the
Democratic party to injure the same and
possibly to defeat the will of the people.
ReSclred, further, That we call upon all
such commissioners to resign, and demand
of the Governor that he reappoint at least
two commissioners in each county who are
in accord with the dominant element il the
party.
These resolutions were strongly advocated
by great many of the delegates. but the
more conservative element prevailed and
succeeded in passing substitute for the
above resolutions. Messrs. D. J. Bradham
and S. A. Nettles, of Clarendon, and Mr..
Parrott, of Darlington, spoke strongly in
their opposition to them. The substitute as
offered and passed was as follows:
WHEREAS, Governor Richardson has ap-
pointed commissioners Of election without
consultation with the Democratic executive
committees, and appointed these commits
sioners not in accordance with the will of
the Democracy Of South Carolina; therefore
be it
Res0lred, That we condemn Governor
Richardson for this action of his which is
against the interest of the majority Of the
Democrats.
Resolced, That all the commissioners as
appointed be requested to resign, and that
other appointments of commissioners be
made after conference with or recommen-
dations by the county Democratic executive
committees.
Resolred, That the secretary of this con-
vention serve certified copy on Governor
Richardson, and also one to the convention
| tomorrow.
The convention then adjourned. Many
of the delegates will also attend the State
| convention tomorrow.

In The Prize Ring.

An affair of honor being settled
without the use of the ever ready
pistol in Columbia is not unusual but
very interesting, and on Saturday af-
ternoon there occurred one which
may be well termed a prize fight,
pure and simple The particulars
learned are abont as follows:
Bad blood has existed for some
time between Messrs. William Altee,
a railroad man, and James Miller, a
well known sporting man. This feel
ing seems to have reached crisis on
Saturday, when Miller walked into
Mr. Mat Eason's establishment on
West Geryais street and placed $40
up that che could lick Altee in ring
fight" Altee learning OF this went
to the place and covered the money,
and each man chose bis seconds. In
the afternoon the two patries took
carriages and went to the vicinity of
Fishers mill pond, and at a point in
the woods, just outside the city lin.
its, a ring was pitched, and it was de-
cided that the fight should be go-as-
you-please one with bare fists. The
two men were placed in the ring, and
at the word the battle commenced.
From the very start it was evident to
those standing near, about dozen in
number, that Altee was getting the
best of it. They hit, kicked, and
gouged each other at a great rate,
and finally, after several rounds, Altee
got one of 8Iiller's fingers in his
mouth and nearly bit it of. Soon
after this it became evident that Mil
ler was badly beaten, and the fight
was stopped. Miller's head was bat
tered up and his finger having been
dressed the party returned to the
city,
The affair was a great success, and
was much better way of settling a
difficulty than by pistols.-Co Columbia
Record.

No one doubts that Dr. Sage's catarrh
remedy really cures catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or of long standing be-
cause the makers of it clinch their faith in
it with $500 guarantee, which isn't mere
newspaper guarantee. but ''on CALI IN q
moment That moment is when you prove
that its makers can't cure you. The reason
for their faith is this: Dr. Sage's remedy
has proved Itself the right cure for ninety
nine out of one hundred cases of catarrh in
the head, and the Worlds DispenStry Med
ical Association can afford to take the risk of
you being the one bundredth.
The only question is--are you willing to
make the test, if the makers are willing to
take the risk? If so, the rest is easy You

August Cotton Report.

COLUMBIA, sep. S.-Ihe following report
issued to-day by the State department of
agriculture is based upon replies received
from 283 correspondents in every part of
the State of an average date ofSeptember l.
The weather for the past month is reported
as favorable" by Ill correspondents, and
"unfavorable" by 134 correspondents.
COTTON.
The condition of the cotton crop has fallen
off considerably since the last report. The
crop has never fully recovered from the
June drought, and the recent excessive rains
in some sections has caused the plant to
shed heavily. Rust, too, is generally COM
planned Of. No damage is reported from
caterpil!ars. The crop is at least ten days
earlier than usual, and is being rapidly
picked and marketed. Notwithstanding
the temporarily unfavorable conditions, the
increased average, heavier fertilization and
the earliness Of the crop warrant the predic-
ton that the yield for the State will not fall
short of coo, 600 bales. The condition is re-
ported as follows: For Upper Carolina, SS;
Middle Carolina, 81; Lower Carolina, 81;
average for the State 81, against 80 at the
same time last year and SO on Aug. /, 1890.
Corn, while by no means SO promising as
last year, (when the largest crop ever grown
in the State was harvested), is reported in
generally good condition. More than an
average crop will be made, and the partial
failure of the Western crop will enhance
considerably the money value of our pro-
duct.
The condition of the rice crop is for
upper Carolina SO, middle Carolina SO, and
lower Carolina 80; average for the State 95,
against "a at the same time last year.
OTHER CROPS.
| The condition of the ether crops is as fol-
lows: Sorghum 95, against 95 last year; sug-
az cane 95, against 81 last year; peas 81,
against SO last year; sweet potatoes 93,
against "a last year, and Irish potatoes 92,
against 81 last year.

 "You would be surprised if you knew how many of the negroes still believe inthe power of the hoodoo," said police surgeon to a Times reporter.
 ''They nearly all have the faith firmly fixed in their minds, though they are more careful about acknowledging it than they used to be.
 "About two years ago received call from an old black man who said he had been sconjured' by some old woman in Wyandotte, and he had been suffering from pain in both arms and shoulders ever siucs. He had been digging his yard all over in serch of the coffin this woman was supposed to have buried there in order to hoodoo him, and as the search had been useless he had become dis- couraged and came to me as a laet resort.
 'I sized up the case at oncs, and gave him @ prescription containing such odoriferous articles as iodoform, saltpeter, asafetida and @ number of others, and told him to fumigate the place.
 ''Ths Latin names I used greatly impress ed the old man, and when he got whiH of the villainous compound he was sure there must be something miraculous about the pre- scription.
 "He came to me the next morning and de- elared that he was thoroughly cleared, and to the day of his death he ascribed that cure to the march he made about his house at mid- night that night, carrying in front Of him that shovel with it's load of loud smells"
