Col. Hammeti took dinner in Ninety-Six on
last Wednesday on his way to Augusta. ViceFresident
Kirk and Treasurer Pope accompanied
him thither.
The Anti-Railroad men it is said have raised
toOO on paper for the purpose of making
some lawyer happy. This amount would
more thau pay all the taxes of those who contribute
towards this fund, It is a pity men
will bo so deluded. They will not only lose
this amount but have tlicir taxes to pay bosides,
but it they can stand It we can.
Mr. W. C. McUowan was In town a few days

Miss Alexander, of North Carolina, is visltiug
her cousin Miss Mamie Blake. She is
quite a charming looking young lady and we
don't wonder at some of our young men be-j
ing captivated.
The upland corn Is looking well where it
has been worked, bottoms a failure.
Col. Alex Stuart, senior member of the firm
of Stuart <? Co., contractors on the Atlantic,
Greenville and Western Railway has been in

Col. 1. T. Calhoun, candidate for the Legislature
was abound to see us last week. Col.
Calhoun came amongst us believing this was
his weakest point, but was convinced before
he left that he hnd many friends in NinetySix
township. We aresati&lled that he will!
get a fine vote here.
Arrangements for our Fair are progressing.'
The Executive Committee are doing every-)
thing in their power to make the enterprise a
success.
Col. B. F. Cray ton, of Anderson, was down
on a short visit a few days back. The Colonel
,,-C trnrmout Hf? is fllWOYS
welcome at Ninety-Six, aud if he will run for
some State office wc will support hint with a
great deal of ple?sure.
Mra. HerriDg, of Alabama, daughter of our
esteemed friend Mr. J. J. Cooper Is with her
parents on a short visit.
The meetiOx in the interest of a school for
noxt. vear on last Friday evening was adjourned
till next Friday evening at 0 o'clock. We
hope by that time to have a number of applications
to place before the patrons. Don't fail
to turn out this Is an all important meeting.
The Anti-Railroad party is still holding its
meetings at the Old Fort. But we venture to
say that before they ever get atrial of their
case the railroad will bo graded and ready for
the Iron.
The Fairfield Regulators are again at their
work. I understand several letters have been

have their eyes on some one. They generally
do their work at night, and it is always sharp
6liortarid decisive.
The colored folks had a picnic at Old Fort
last Saturday, proceeds to pay for band instruments.
The liitio "East Ends" are under many obligations
to Mr. E. S. Addison for a basket of
nice luscious peaches. They were fine and
we all enjoyed them very much. Mr. Addison
has a fine orchard and It Is a pleasure to
him to dispense his blessings amongst those
who are not so fortuuate.
Major Jeff. Powers, of Coronaca, was down

splendid Tanner, industrious and persevering
and deserves success.
Mr. James L.Helferroan has a fine milk cow !

Mr. H. R. Turner sprained his ankle very se

The many fi lends of Mr. Thomas C. Stuart
were delighted to see him. lie lives now In
Greenville, and is on a short visit to his native
heath. No better young man ever grew
up around Ninety-Six than he. He has the
best wishes of all who know-him.
Dr. G. H. WaddeH at present Supervisor of
Registration lor Abbeville county is a candidate
for legislative honors. The Doctor
though not a farmer In tire true sense of the
word, has always farmed in connection with
his practice. He is in every way qualified to
represent our county, and if elected Abbeville
county will not have cause to regret it.
Tbougn not a farmer candidate, he lias been
brought out by the farmers, and we trust all
good men who have the Interest of the county
at heart will supi>ort him.
We notice that our old friend McSweeney
has taken unto himself a wife. Weareglad
of It. He, like a great many old bachelor editors,
is too good a man to always live alone. I
His Ninety-Six friends congratulate him.
Now is the time to rub up and fix up your |
?Tock. Don't wait until the day of the Stock I
>5how and then have cause to be ashamed of
your neglect and your stock. Buy nice halters
and nice brhlles. They are useful and |
pretty ornaments to a nice animal.
Persons who desire to enter horses In the
trotting or pacing contests will please add less
R. L. Pratt, who lias charge of that department.
lie will give all the information desired.
We hope the people cf Abbeville will make
an issue on prohibition. Let us see how the
people stana, and how the candidates stand.
A man who Is afraid to come to the front and
tell his views on this or any other subject Is
not the man we want, fie is not worthy of
the suirrages of a free people.
We hope the farmers will push their movementand
see that none but farmer candidates
arc elected to office. We do not mean by tills
that they should ostracise any class, hut let
them be the judges as to who they will vote
for, be he lawyer, mechanic or any thing else.
They should demand and take nothing less
than the lion's share. All or none.

The masterly series of papers 011 "Great
American Cities" in Harper'x Magazine is continued
111 the August issue by Kdinund
Klrke's contribution on Detroit, which Is the
leading article of a rich number. The history
of "The City of the .Strait" Is cleverly outlined
from the time before Iicndrlk Hudson
set foot on Manhattan Island, when the Hn
rolls pointed oiu lis sua: u? ?.- ruii
gate-way to "the vast seas of sweet water."
The first settlement by the adventurous
Frenchman Cadillac, the romantic frontier
life of its early period, the revolutionary
scencs clustering about this Western centre
of the struggle for freedom, the surprising
flood of Yankee lnimigration which was
opened by the Erie canal, and its astounding
growth ever since, are all deftly described.
15ut the city of to-day is tlie main subject,
and its characteristics in enterprise, society/
architecture, and culture are well treated. A
j lively part of tiie article is tlie two pages givlen
to"M Quad," the DetroitI Free l'rvsx hurnor|
1st, whose portrait is one of the numerous illustrations.

Ttaein.
Troy, r. C., July 19,3RS0.
Tho Troy base ball club left home on Monday,
July 5th, to tnke part in tlie grand base
ball tournament at Laurens, where the championship
of the Piedmont section was to be
played for by five of the strongest teams in
tippet- Carolina, viz: Laurens. Antloeh, Troy,
Union and Greenville. Our club represented
in Laurens, was as follows:
G. C. Hrrtdley, Manager, Jul. M. Vlsauska,
Scorer, and the players were:
Kennedy, 1 b.
Wiseman, c.
Harkness, p.
Necl, 3 b.
| Abercrornbie, S. s?
I Fuss, 2 b.
I Smart, 1. f.
Chiles, r. f.
McDuvid. c. f.
Thi. firci friitito nn flirt nrnrmmmc was a
hard fought ono between Troy and Union on
Tuesday morning, July Oil). The splendid
work of the battery of tho Troy club won, the
following Ik the score by innings:
Union 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0?3
Troy 3 0 114 0 0 0 0-0
Tbe Trojans next tackled the tearh from Antioch
on Wednesday morning. The game was
delayed on account of tbe Antioch pitcher
not having arrived, and our boys were compelled
to play in the warmest part of the day.
Ncel and Harkncss were the battery for Troy
while Langford and Johnson looked to that
interest for Anliooh. Our boys. seemed to
have bad an easy job on hana, though tho
Antioch team did some fine flcldiDg. Tho
score by innings is:
Troy 0 4 3 3 1 1 8 0 *-15
Antioch 11002102 0-7
Up to this time Troy had won each game
she playedi while Laurens had done the same
thing, having defeated Greenville and Union.
As Troy and Laurens tied, the championship
now vested between these two clubs. The
mo*t exciting game Was now at hand. Kennedy
and Hmarl, two of Troy's best players
wore in bed with fever, which placed the Trojans
in a bad situation, as tliey had no substitutes
with them. It was thought at ono time
that there wonld be no game, but the Troy
elub finally consented to borrow two men in
place of those on the sick list. Through the
courtesy of the captains ol the t7Dlon and
Greenville nines one man was loaned the
Troy team from each club. The LnUrens club
had been holding their best pitcher in reserve
for this game. Troy went on the diamond
without two of their best players. The
grand sfand was tilled with the beauty and
chivalry of Laurens and adjoining towns, every
one eager to see the game begin. Promptly
at5 o'clock on Thursday nfietnoon. The
game was called by umpire J. T. Johnson, of
Laurens, with Troy at the bat, who soon took
the field with a goose egg to her credit. Laurens
followed suit. In the second Inning
however, the Trojans chalked up four runs to
their credit, while the Laurens boys were
still sorely puzzled over Harkness' down-andout
curves. The work of the Troy battery
was never better and can only be excelled by
a real good, professional team. In the fifth
inning Troy had another picnic in the way of
scoring four more runs, while Laurens succeeded
in making her first score. The entire
game was well piayed on both sides. The following
is the score by innings:
Troy 04U04UVU *?o
Laurens 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 *?3
The following Is an extract from an account
of the tournament contained in the Laurciuvitl
eHerald:
"Thursday evening, Laurens and Troy
played for the Piedmont championship. It
was a stubborn game, and each club did almost
professional pluying: and while It Is
generally the custom for the defeated Club
to put up excuses, we believe our club
honesily acknowledges that tbey were fairly
and honestly beaten. So our Troy friends
are entitled to wear the belt, and until somel
Club can muster as strong, sf not a stronger
battery than Troy, she will cod tluue to wear
It."
Too much cannot be said In praise of the
courtesy and generous hospitality of the Lau
rensvllle Base Rail Asssoclatlou and the citizens
of I.aureus. Our boys were elegantly
entertained, and will always remember this
trip as one of the most enjoyable they havp
overtaken. Laurens may well be proud of
the grand succcss of this, her llrst base ball
touruameut. V.

A Literary Coup I>*Eiitt.
Of all the surprises to which the reading
public has been treated by Mr. Alden's surprising
Utcrart/ Revolution, perhaps the most
remark able Is the hist.
Two of the choicest anil most famous books
In modern literature, Washington Irving's
' TheSketch Book" and Knickerbocker's History
of New York," are Just published in
stylo worthy of this most widely celebrated
and universally honored of American authors.
The two books together form one of
the nine volumes of his works also published.
The type Is large, leaded, beautiful; the two
volumes bounuln one com prise GiHi pages; the
binding Is half morocco, marbled edges. The
only other edition in the market that at all
compares with this or rivals it, is advertised
by the publisher at ?3.00 per volume.
| Mr. Alden's price when sold in bets of nine
volumes, Is a little less than 51.00 per volume.
He now oilers this single specimen volume
, until September l, lSsii, for the price (if it can
i be called a price) of o0 cents, by mail, postage
: paid.
Tills offer Is without restriction or eondiI
Hon ; If there an* a hundred thousand, or half I
| n million of those who take pleasure In the |
! works of Washington Irving, who want the j
' volume, ho says he will till their orders as

about manures and fertilizers, hut I take

ing amount to but little unless wo prepare
the land first for manure by first restoring to
the land humus ; land without humus I consider
too far exhausted to bo beneHttej by
mnnurlng, unless we can afford to cove - the
ground broadcast with vegetable marures,
w.ilch we cannot afford to do because the beginning
must be by turning under vegetable
growth witii plow annually, such as clover,
vines, weeds, ifrass, stalks and all, and everything
that will decay and rot and inakct hutnus
in tho land. This done, then we can use
a small quantity of lot manure and ferti Izers
to some advantage. But using a iimall
amoun t of manure on exhausted soils that
are wit nout humus to retain moisture does
atoutas much good as to treat a sick man
with remedies Inadequate to reach the dis
t*USC. IVUUIUU^t;iU|'iiaim
otablc mutter Is manuring itself, and in the
best manuring we tan do, for it benefits the
crip', nnd such manuring is permanent il?
regularly kept up. We see farms that have
been annually heavily and expcnslvelj' fertilized
with commercial fertilisers and cotton
sc2d. arid they arc getting more exhausted every
year. I account for it in this way, that
theland lacks liumus, and without li iniuf
manures do but little pood. It may benefit
the crops if the land is kept moist with regular
rains, but if dry It don't even benefit the
cr:>ps. But my plan is to enrich the Iftnd by
re-storing humus, and If you benefit the land
your crops will be benefitted; this munt be
dene with the plow by plowing under v< getabl
e matter. Turn out a part of your flelt s every
year to rest, nnd sow down a part In clover
and small grains, nnd when you harvest
leave a long stubble to turn under; also turn
under corn nnd cotton stalks and grass, and
ali litter on the land, burn up nothing, and by
so doing, in a few years you will seo a jreat
improvement In your lands, and lot manures
wlllgoa great way, as light manuring will
will go a great wa,v? as light manuring will
count if yon have humus In the land, and I
may add the very first step to be taken is to
prevent your fields from washing by terracing
and ditching. Ho the first and important
sludy and duty of the fermef la to keep his
fielcl from washing, and next to restoro humus;
to his lands; if this is done, manuring
becomes less expensive and more profl able,
and your farm will Improve In Its production
and value. It will take labor to do this, but
the cost of the labor will be much less and
more remunerative than what It has coiit for
commercial fertilizers. Since the wai the
great mistake made by our farmers was depending
too mirch on money doing what we
should and could have done ourselves with
the labor we had at our command. We
thought It was easier to pay cut money for
many things than to have those tilings
i,v crivincr it. o'nr immediate at
(entlon; we would rather buy our meat
than to take the trouble to raise It; bo wlib
com, fertilizers and many oilier thines. I
have netfer pursued that plan, and If I have
never made such brag cotton crops as o .hera;,
I have made more money than Ihey have
done by not having to buy meat, corn fertilizers
and other thinps. Farming Is a seif-sustalning
business, and not made so, it cannot
be made successlul; that .is assured by long
experience. John H. Di;nt.
Essex Hogs In (he South.
Southern CullicaUrr.
In the cecums of the Southern Cultivate' you
have hnd many articles of great Interest to
your readers on the Bubject of swine, and In
addition thereto I would like to give n few
facts about tho Essex of the: present daj',
since they have increased In size and otherwise
greatly improved by English and American
breeders. I began experimenting with
the Essex about the year 1866, and have made
careful selections of females from yenr to
year, and avoided close breeding by obtaining
the best males to be found in England
and America, until my herd now equalK any
in the world in size of the breeding stejcl:. In
fecundity It probably exceeds that of any other
herd. In September three of my matured
sows farrowed, bringing43 pigii?sixteen,fourteen
and thirteen, respectively. Of :hese,
tliirty-two arc living nnd growing ir.oldly,
the mothers belne capital nurses. I have
found the Essex the most profitable of aay of
the improved breeds; they are free from disease,
are easy keepers, and mature early. My
herd lifts clover, and the gleanings of the
grain fields, and a good range in a wood pasture;
this carries them through the spring
and summer and fall months. Those ititcnded
for bacon are given the run of the pea-!
ftel<U>, and are made ready for the knife with
Ihroctofour bushels of corn per head. The
Essex can be fnltencd at nny age; the only objection
to them is their becoming too fat to be
depended on as reliable breeders when feci
tge usual supply of food allowed to other
swine. Those Intended for breeder sho.ild be
allowed to get their own living on grass or In
a woods range aud started to breed at an early
ape.
My killing hogs are ready for the knifo at
eighteen to twenty months old, and ca n readily
be made to weigh i50 to .100 poundB not at a
cost of two to threo cents per pound. The Essex,
as a rule, are not carnivorous. I havo
had sows attain the age of four or tlvn yearii.
and yet during the twenty-seven yearn chat I
l?avc bred the Essex, I have not seen or beard
of a chicken or Inmb eater. The white breeds
of mvlnc nro unsulted to a hot climate on acrtAiint
nf Ihft mancp.
The Poland China and the Jersey broils are
large and mature late; they are admirably
adapted to lire Western country, with lowpriced
corn, but not profitable In a cotton region.
The Rerkshires, by many jjersons at
the South, are highly valued; buton my farm
I found them to be carnivorous, lamb and
chicken eaters, and disposed to bcjointi wild
when allowed to run ou a large range. Very
many of them also were affected with lung
troubles, Indicated by a hacking cough.
Many breeders of the Essex attribute the
improvoincDt In the Berkshire to a crass ol
the Essex made by the English breeders. In
the management of my herd for s?vers.l
years, I have used kerosene oil liberally, both
externally and internally, to extermisiate the
parasites of the skin and the Intestinal worms
to which all the breeds of swlue are so liable
in the Southern climate.

Treating Hog: Cholera.
"The swine-breeders cast ot Illinois furnish
us a great den I of amusement by their discussion
of hog cholera," says the Iowa. Home
stead, ". some 01 uicra arc m me worm kimsc,
others In the pumpkin seed stage, others in the
stage of salt and a?shes or burnt cum. All
agree that, there is a remedy for hog cl olera.
Wiih some the cause is worms, with others
it is tilth, with others inbreediug; fioine have
faith in the pumpkin seeds as a cure, others
In sail and ashes, others in burnt corn, others
in a variety of feed, etc. Ho long ns they do
not have the genuine article of swine plague,
it is not worth while to nrgue with them; after
they have It, which will probably be tills
year, there will be no need of argument."
A press telegram from Milwaukee. Wis.,
dated May 22, says: State Veterinarian Atkinson
has prepared a circular on the treatment
of hog cholera, which he will have
printed and muiled to the health officers of
the various towns in the Statu next week.
The circular says in brief: If the disease has
prevailed in your locality the urgent necessity
Ish thorough cleansing and disinfection.
All old straw piles, manure heaps, and similar
substances should be disposed of by plowing
under, burning or storing in a occluded
place. The pens should be thoroughly
cleansed by washing with a solution of carbolic
acid in the proportion of five pounds to
a barrel of water, or copperas, twenty-four
pounds to the same quantity of wuter.
Burning sulphur in the penR with the donrs
closed also has a wholesome effect. After disinfection
the doors and windows should be
thrown open and light and air freely admit*..-1

and diseased herds should be at once suspended.
Visitinjr Infected premises out of curirwity
or for the purpose of gaining information
has in several instance* cost our farmers dearly,
for unfortunately on their return home
they not only carried with them some knowledge
of the symptoms of the disease, but
about their clothes and on their soiled shoes
lurked the germs ready to perform their deadly
work. The carcasses of diseased hogs
should be burled deeply- ahd not bo sold
for rendering. Running streams should be
avoided, as the disease frequently spreads
along tbclr courses.
More AI?ont Burr Clover.
Southern Cultivator.
Having received many letters of Inquiry ns
to the merits of burr clover, I desire to answer
thronifh your valuable Journal, the
Southern Cultivator. (1.) It will grow on our oldest
lands, though, like everything else, the
richer the soil the more luxuriant the growth.
(2.) If sown In July or August It will wlthxtiLndniii
coldest winters. Wtien all other
grasses are dead it remains green and flourishing
(? ) After once set it will reseed itself
for years without any more cultivation, malting
a permanent winter pasture. (-1.) Dies
clown in June to reappear in September, (i.)
All kind of stock become very fond of It; Is
fine for fowls, chickens and turkeys eating it
all winter, (f>.) Cannot be exterminated by
grazing If stock arc taken ofl' it when in
bloom, say the first of May. (7.) I have a lot
planted six years ago, plowed once since,
which Is now nearly four foct high, as thickly
malted as you ever saw red clover. One has
but to have it to appreciate the value of It.
Those who lmve had it for years speak the
highest in its pralso. (8.) It will prove to be
one of the best and cheapest renovators of
old worn lands we can have, as it will grow
well on the hardest surface. (0.) It is easily
exterminated when desired by plowing any
time before the seed matures. (It).) The- seeds
arc inclosed In a burr about t he size of a buckshot.
(11) Prepare the grounds as you would
ft ?r t nrn i nc cmv tlin hnrrc tlinn rnllor
over to pack them down. (12.) The past wintor
was very severe, Icllllug all the small
j:rnin, nevertheless this clover stood the test
and was then green mid flourishing.

We do not think so great honor has been
done South Carolina in the appointment of
Ex-Governor Thompson as Assistant Secretary
of the national treasury. South Carolinians
have as much right to such positions In
the national government as the people of any
other of the States. But we feel gratified,
chosen another of our State's sons for an important
office. Appointments like those of
Trenholm and Thompson will make our people
feel mortj like they have some lot in the
governtneot of the hatloh,and so more like
they are a part of it; and after a while the
bayonets which pinned us back into the Union
may be entirely drawn out, the wounds
may hral, and the scars disappear.
Literary Notice.
An interesting biographical sketch of Joe
Jefferson, tbe most beloved, if not the most
famous, of American actors, appears in the
August Harper's. The writer, William Winter,
traces his dramatic talent through a long
line of illustrious ancestors who followed the
samo profession, and shows how well the
player of "Rip Van Winkle" deserves the astonishing
success which enables him to gratify
his fondness for painting on his Louisiana
estate, w|th only a small exercise of bis stage
talents to Interrupt his study of the other art.
The excellent portrait of Mr. Jefferson as
"Hob Acres,'" by J. W. Alexander, which excited
unusual attention in the Academy exhibition
two years ago. accompanies the article
as the froutispiece to this number of the
Magazine.
