The Storm at snlloh-other News

SHILOH, Oct. 3-It is really astonishing
bow Submissive people are when ic a perilous
position, as was abundautly verified during
the storm on Tuesday the 29th ult. Whe..
they saw their cotton flying through the air
8, the rate OF so Or 60 miles per hour, many
did not even express regret, but wisely ex-
claimed, sob, it could be so much worse. Soon
however, the danger disappeared, aud calm
once more prevsiled, then on every hand you
could hear mut,ering and grumbliug and ex-
pressions Of dissatisfaction. Gardens and
trees yielded to the force of the storm in
large numbers in this section, and al least
one third of the cotton 10 the fields was
blown out.
The storm reached here at or about p. NJ,
and lasted about two hours. Old Mr.. Ed.
Goodman had bis workshop blown into the
public road The woods in some places are
sight. aud if the ground had not been very
dry, the destruction to the forest would have
been much greater bitches, when conven-
ieot were vel! patropized in many places
during the storm and more were wished for.
'sThs railroad through Magnolia, au old
soldier remarked, reminded one OF a liue Of
pickets during the late war" The merchants
aod clerks took their stands there, with the
instructive understanding to rendezvous Ia
the boz cars, 10 case they could not cope
with the storm in combat.
About 80 per cert. Of the cotton crop 10
this township is gathered and in marketable
order The pea crop has improved within
the last ten days considerably but nothing
like a full crop will be made.
1t seems that there is a change Of clause
in the road lsw 7hich has escaped the notice
of all bas one oversesr on the roads. He says
The Law requires four days work-l0 hours
eAch-of all male citizens liable according to
I.w be: thas 'le hoie c,st'er rests With the
overseer, or road masters discretion. If 10
his Judgement Gay or Il half days labor on
TIE road only is necessary: Why, after per-
forming that labor he has right to dismiss
the hands for the year. One wise acre in this
township has 80 decided and acted. After
making farce OF the work for one day he
dismissed ali the hands for this year. One
mar to whom be gave task, tells me that
be performed the labor in one and a half
hours. Will such ignorance-such neglect
as this be allowed by the County Supervisor?
He eau get the overseer's name and section of
road by writing TO this correspondent 1t
certainly ought to be looked after.

A Prlyateer Landmark.

Mr. Editor:-A wel,-known landmark of
this township will soon have passed away
this is the old. Osteen house, now the proper
ty Of Mr.. Dargau Osteen. This venerable
building was considerably il want of repairs,
and Mr.. Osteen is now pulling it down With
the view Of building new one on the same
site. AS this building is wel.known land
mark of Privateer Township. it will not be
out of place to speak somewhat at length of
it here.
1t is typical farm house of bygone gen.
erations, is built of plank, with two stories
the upstairs being being hardly more than
garret. Ooe large chimney, SKI, goes up
through the center of the building. A piazza
is in front. The appearance of the building
IS quite venerable and its situation is not un-
picturesque, being on = bill which slopes
down to the swamp of Nasty Branch.
The late Squire T. H. Os,aen, well.known
citizen of this township, was hc7u in this
house 79 years ago last July-the building
was just finished then We are informed that
it was FIVE years in building and the planks
were whip-eawed. It's little remarkable
that only three deaths and two births have
occurred IN this house, the deaths were those
OF Mr. and Mrs. JACOB Osteen and Squire
Osteen-the first mentioned were his parents.
Squire Osteen died in 1880. For many years
be was magistrate aud while filing tdis Of
fee, probably performed more marriage cere-
monies here than have been performed at any
other private house in the township. Squire
Osteen md his SOD, Mr.. Dargan Osteen,
were the only persons born in this house.
We paid farewell visit to the old build
ing last Saturday. The work Of tearing
down bad already been commenced and it
will not be long before this relic Of past days
and generations will be numbered with the
things that have been. MCDONALD FuRMAN.

Hot Supper at Providence.

The hot supper as announced by the
Watchmsn to take place at the residence of
Mr. Fl. W. Bennett on Friday evening, Octo'
Der End, was a grand success socially and
financially. The attendance was not as large
as it mi ght have been, if the supper bad not
conf1icted with one at Hagood, but we are
glad to say that those present did their duty,
and $50 net, was realized.
The supper was prepared and served in q
maurer that would have done credit to our
fiuest hotels and the ice cream, cake, lemon
ade, ETC., were excellent.
Miss Lizzie Folk received the cake as the
most populur young lady, which proves that
our people can vote occasionally.
The feature of the eeveniug was the guessing
at the height of pole on which was suspend
ed pair Of shoes to be awarded to the person
guessing the nearest to the height of the
pole. The discrepancy in the guessing
created a great deal of amusement. The
height of the pole being ten feet and some
guessed as high as IA feet.
The shoes were awarded to Miss Lillian
Moses.
The church is indebted to Mr. and Mrs.
q. W. Bennett for kindly Offering the use of
their house and to Mrs. Bennett, Mrs. Folk
aud Mr.. and Mrs. Charlie Boykin and Misses
Sue and Lizzie Folk tor the active part they
have taken in getting up the supper, and to
others too numerous to mention for contrtu-
ting and assisting with the supper.
The visitors from Sumter we're Dr.. and Mrs.
A. J China, Misses Fannie and BERTHE China,
Messrs. Douglas China and - Copp, aud
their presence added very a,uch to the pleas
ure Of the occasion.
The behavior was excellent and ersrytbing
was carried out in manner to lake every
one who was 80 fortunate as to attend, re-
member The occasion with pleasure.

Cotton Receipts,

An idea of the way cotton hss been rushed
to market on account of the early opening of
the season is to be obtained by comparison
of the receipts this gear and last. The re-
ceipts this year to September 30th were $3.50
bales. Last year on the same date the total
receipts were but ATS bales. Since Sep
tember. 30, the receipts have been heavy,
snd the total up to date is 10 excess of 1000
bales.
If the receipts continue as heavy during
the next thirty days, the total receipts this
season will exceed the receipts of last year to
An appreciable extent, hu, it is not to be ex-
-pected that the receipts can continue to be so
large, as the crop is short and has heen mar
keted earlier and more rapidly than is Gus
tomary.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 19-Among
the passengers on the steamship China.
which arrived today from Yokohama
were Sho Nemoto and T.. Kusakado
prominent Japanese business mon
whose errand is to arrange the details
OF a gigantic colonization scheme i'm
Mexico. They have secured an option
on three hundred thousand acres of
land in the state of Cheapis. Mexico
and are on their way south to consum-
mate the deal. The land is sold to them
at 81 per acre. The immense tract will
be cut up into small farms, which will
be operated by coolie labor brought
from Japan. Cotton, sugar. tobacco
ana other products adapted to the eli
mate Will be raised In addition 10 the
above scheme, Sho Nemoto has been
commissioned by the japanese govern
ment 10 investigate the trade prospects,
OF Mexico and Central America. 1t is
the desire of Japan to trade directly
with the countries south of the United
states as far down as Panama. and a
steamship line has been subsidized 10
run to ports along the Pacific coast
The main port will be San Diego in
this state, and it is the intention of
japanese manufacturers to import ali
their cotton via San Diego. instead ~
through San Francisco and P1leet
sound ports, as at present. A traffic
arrangement will also probably he
made with the Tehuantepec railroad
thus giving the new steamship con,na,,x,
access to the Atlantic coast. This
steamship company has nothing 10 do
with the one about TO be established
with Portland, Oregon, as the main
port of call.

CAN DO NO BETTER.
Waite Believes Bryan VIII Be Nom
mated by the Populists.

ST. LOUIS, July 19.-Ex-Governor
Waite of Colorado, is here. He said
he had abandoned his contest against
the Patterson delegation for seat in
the convention.
'I announced" he said, that was
for Bryan and they Immediately
bounced me from the delegation, be-
cause they said had sold out to Wall
street.
Here the governor laughed inordin-
ately "Of course, he said, Il am
for Bryan and Sewall and shall place
no other obstacles in the way OF the
seating of the Patterson delegation
which is also favorable to the Demo-
cratic nominee, though [ understand
the contest will be continued by the
other members of the delegation which
bears my name.
II am for Bryan" he went on, be
cause 1 believe in the man and because
the platform on which he stands is an
excellent one. l believe it has sincere
ity and furthermore L believe in the
sincerity and fidelity to Populist prln-
ciples of Altgeld and Pennoyer. The
Popu1ists can do no better than to
nominate or endorse Mr.. Bryan.
