OUR CORRESPONDENTS. Pacolet. Skpt. 2.~>. . Tho meeting at the Methodist Church which had been in session Tor 10 or 12 Jays, closed last Friday night with two accrsiiuns to the church. Tho eertices were of unusual interest. Tho pastor, Rev. J. L. Sifley, was ab'y assisted by Kevs. D K. Brown of C<dleton _ Co., and T. J. Brock of the I'nptist and A. A. James of the Presbyterian church. Reports from the crops ure to the effect that coru, pota'oes, turnips and other food crops are ns good as the ground will produce. Cotton picking is io full blast now, and it looks as though it will all soon be opened. There has been a great falling off in the prospect of the cotion crop of '1)4. New cotton has been rolling iuto the Mills; but it is bringing very low figures. Lost week it was worth from f>.*, to t'> ctt ; wh le this week it seems to be on the up grade somewhat. The merchants seem very hopeful of a goo l fall trade. There is a go>d deal of sickness in the community. \Imm i i g.ll... ..m.i \l.. 1m wmm.i htive been right sick for several days, but are now convalescent.

A Skit. 21..Since the cool wave passed off the wea'hor has got bnck to summer weather again. The cotton fields arc white to the harvest and every available hand is engaged picking it out. Farmers are very much discouraged at raising cotton the price being so low. The grain crop and stock raising will get more attention next year than usual. In my communication two weeks ago 1 gave an acouut <f an attack upon Mr. Munro Wood a short time before. I gave it as Mr. Wood gave it to me or as near as 1 could remember. Now, Mr. J. W. Yaughen comes up and says lie and three others were the ones that met Mr. Wood in the road and that he and Mr. W. did have a little scrimage but the others had nothing to do with it. lie puts quite a different light upon the affair and vindicates the others and soys it was only a matter between him nnd Wood and Hint they were not drinking so I give this explanation at the request of Mr. Yaughsn as he soys it is generally known that he was the man that hnJ the difficulty trith Mr, Wood. Mr. J. C. Spears packed 29 bales of hay the other day that he cut from his wet bottoms weighing aboui -iOO per bale. Mis Sjenrs has a full crop of corn on his dry bottoms so with corn nnd hay plentiful he is alright for eomething to feed his stock. The young people of our town came in upon me lost Friday night nnd from 8 till 11 o'c'ock they had what seemed to be n delightful time. Music, mesmoriem and other amusements were engaged fn. Wife nnd I enjoyed ourselves like the rest of the boys and girls. A few bales of cotton are coming in every day, Messrs. J. L. McWhirter fit Co. arc buying. The cottcn seed market opened today the price is about 14 cents pert>usli«l. Mr. J. N. Lcmaetcr left us n week ngo to buy cotton for McCaots & Co., of Columbia, be is stationed at lilackstock. Rev. J. 8. Porter closed n very interesting meeting at Pcthleheni last Friday night, which hnd been going on for several days. He was aerirted by Rev. J. L. Harlcy, from Cowpen*-. Mr. Porter tilled his pulpit here t yeiterday morning. Mrs. J. C. Farrar, of Pinckney, passed through our town last week ou her way hone from Spartanburg. Mr. J. A. Chambers and family, of Piockney, were in our town one day last week. 1'Ei.ernoNK. Etta Jane. Skit. 24.. It was our good fortune yesterday lo attend the third quarterly meeting of the North Pacolet Interdenominational Sunday school convention for 1804. A large congregation was present and the exercises throughout wero characteristic of the people who compose that body. People from different sections of the county were there, and all manifested au uuusual interest in tho work. Miss Lizzie Moorhead, to whom had be$n assigned the duty of conducting a "mosaic prim-try class exercise" was present and prepared to discharge that duty. Her subject was "The Youth of Jesus." She began her work with a few simple questions, and as the pupils advanced she rivitcd upon their ntinds the important facts she wished them to lenrn. Oy a series of well arranged questions her class was taught in a few minutes what it would take a slovenly, slip-shod zuothod weeks or perhaps months to accomplish. litis feature of the work was new to our people, and at first some were disposed to think it would provo a failure. Out not so. Long before Miss Lizzie dismissed her class utd took her seat wc could read in the countenances of those present, (many of whom ore first class teachers), that the North Pacoltt Interdenominational Sundav School convention had scored a success of which it might be proud. When (he minds and characters of the boys and girls of our common country are moulded for usefulness by the ban I of pure and noble womanhood then will the church, the Sunday school and Society occupy the cxa'ted plane to which each aspires. Let the old foggy idea that women shou'd occupy no portion of prominence in public affairs, even when she can make herself useful, be relegated to the rear or buried beneath the wheels of progressive civilization and Christianity. l'rof. Sams was also there, and in hia usual clear distinct and comprehensive style givo some lessons on normal teaching. As an educator Prof. Sams stands upon the top ruttud of the laddor; and anything we might say of bis ability would be superfluous. The Slate Suuday school convention bas elected him to manage its State paper which will appear as soon ns possible, and we advise all who arc in sympathy with the work to subscribe for it. In regard to the convention nt Kllicthe! we might ray that the floral decoration of flit church wns with the choicest flowers that (his climate affords, and tlie dinner spread by the ladies was a compliment to the occasion. Ivsq J. M. Urcer says that there are nineteen cases of sickness within sight of his home this morning. Most, if not all of them fever cases. Mrs. A. F. Kendrick has our thanks for an abundant specimen of her vegetables. Hhe is one of the best horticulturists we have. May her shadow never grow less. Our people are busy making bay, picking cotton, making molasses, etc. In fact, this is the busiest season the farmer has if lie is awake to his duty. A few days lost now will bring want or even ruin to many houscfooulds in this community, and this is no execftion in tit's respect. Mr. 3. F. Kstss who was a de'egafe to the State convention last week has returned highly pleased with what he saw and heard on his trip. Hon. O. B Fowler has been repairing l)r. darner's gin at Skull Shoals. He put it in tip lop running order. Mr. fl. W. Kirby and family of Henrietta Mi Is, N. C., are visiting relatives and friends in this neighborhood at this lime. Several of our gins are at work. Most of tlicui arc giuuing at 20 Cents per hundred pounds lint cotton. We ere sorry to hear <>f the (icknts* in Mr. James Brown's family, also that Mrs. J. T. Moorhen I is sick. Much complaint bus been ma le of the publtc roads. It decs seem thai the overseers in many places have been remiss in ihe<r duties. Mr. J. I*. Williams has a very sick child. The little sufferer has been very near den'lis door but his friends think he will pull h-ough now. Some scientific man claims to have made the discovery that iu the feline tribe only the females wear yellow hair. Wo h ive refei-ed the matter to our committee of ' know alls" and will publish their report when t ;s rendered. Vox. Santuc.

As has been reported in this corrcspouJcnce, 4th Sunday in September had been appointed ns "Missionary Hay," and it materia)./, d. The programme bad been ulna tied for some few weeks, and the scholars who were to take parts of it hav been meetirg I) rehearse, with the result of getting it to per.vcti- n, an i all who expressed then lv s openly gave the school great crcd t for the arrangements, the decoration of the church, au t more for the rendering of tlio exercises.the rccitalioos; of the&e it was participated iu by teachers, .

A large arch, with some eccentric port:ons over the pulpit, and reaching to the floor on both sides of the pulpit, had under it in pretty letters of evergreen, artistically arrang-d, the Bible command, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel." The decorations could not be surpassed by ony wedding decorations that i ever saw. The ecrvices was opoticd with devotional exercises conducted by the Superintendent, Mr. .1, 11.

This day was one of benefit to all it seems, as all seemed to enjoy it, and gave strict attention to all of the exercisos. The singing was splendi 1, there being quite a number of hymns sang. A recess of one and a half hours was taken in which a nnst appetizing diuncr was enjoyed. The day being clear, and the temperature mild, there was everything one could usk for u "good o d time," except the crngregation being consiJerably disappointed in uot being able to hear some speakers who were expected, viz : Mr. Josiah Crudup and Rev. J. A. Bell. The latter was at his work at Carlisle, and Mr. Editor, many think you missed a treat. We had plenty of rain last Monday night and Tuesday. There was considerable damage done to cotlon, as a large quantity of it was open, and was beaten out and muddied. Some fodder was pulled, nud badly damnged. Somo young corn was nut to> far gone to be benefitted, and peas were vary much benefitted, and bo were gardens. So the rain did much good, as well as some dnmnge. There is much writing at present among the Times correspondence about the shortness of the cotton crop. That has been the foregone conclusions down here for some time. If one had kept up with the weathercrop report it would be seen that that was the case over the entire State. While we have a large "weed" and some very good cotton, it docs not come up to what was expected of it onco. I believe this section is blessed with the best all-round corn crop thnt it has bad in a long time, and there is a large quantity of Sorghum cane tlrs yeir, and it is turning out splendid per acre, The trouble is, there is an insufficiency of mills to make it up. And now one crop on the housewives si Ic of the farming industry, is looting fast, i. e. the chickens. A disease lias nitackcd the chickens of many people, their heads getting sore and swelling up, and causing death, and they are going fast. It seems to be sure death to a bird to take it, and cveryb >dy Is getiing to be afraid to enjoy fried chicken. Mr. U. M. Fleming, the It. It. Agent had n very fine and large hog to die of hydrophobia last week. Those who saw the hog snid that it suffered intensely, squca'ing ftnd snapping ovcrything that came in its way. Cotton is being ginned quite largely here now, or was last week. It was g>nnod, almost given away, and then shipped on the next train thnt went North. The price is so low the planters are greatly discouraged and gloomy, and it seems that some arc giving up hope of paying up debts end being left men ngtin. With cotton coS'ing six cents to make, it is said, and being sold nt f>$, farmers who contracted debts under 10c nud 80 cotton, nre in the same predicament as the frog in the well coming up three feet per day, and falling back forty inches. Mr. J. 1*. Thomas, Jr., has moved into his new residence in front of the Methodist parsonage. Miss Nclia Randolph has gone to Greenville to A'tend school. Mr. Hedgiran Sims, who has been eiijoyiivg a pleasant visit to his uncle s, Mr. C. K. Sims leaves for his home in Richland to day. Miss BoUe I.ylcs left to resume her teaching in Barnwell county last week. 1 concur with K. B. N. F. in regard to candidates electioneering with whiskey. It is a shame, if anybody should go into office by whiskey bought ballots. It is getting thingh morals in this raid-to-be glorious country, down to a low and despicable ebb. Would pay too, God speed tbe North I'acolot Trial Justices in their stand taken against lawlessness, ps reported by Vox. £. W.J. Whilo in Chicago, Mr. Charles L. Kahler, a prominent shoe merchant of l)*s Moines, Iowa, had quite a serious time of it. He took such a severe cold that he could hardly talk or navigate, but tlie prompt use of Chamberlain's Cjugh Remedy cured him of his cold so quickly that others at the hotel who had bad colds followed his example and half a dozen persons ordered it from the nearest drug store. They were profuse in their thanks to Mr. Kahler for telling them how to cure a bail cold so quickly; For *ale by B. F. I'OSRY Druggitt, Li>t of Jurors. TO SKRVK Tllfc 1ST.

A largecongregation was present and the exercisesthroughout wero characteristic of the peoplewho compose that body. People from differentsections of the county were there, andall manifested au uuusual interest in thowork.

Miss Lizzie Moorhead, to whom had be$nassigned the duty of conducting a "mosaicprim-try class exercise" was present andprepared to discharge that duty. Her subjectwas "The Youth of Jesus." She beganher work with a few simple questions, andas the pupils advanced she rivitcd upon theirntinds the important facts she wished themto lenrn. Oy a series of well arrangedquestions her class was taught in a few minuteswhat it would take a slovenly, slip-shodzuothod weeks or perhaps months to accomplish.litis feature of the work was newto our people, and at first some were disposedto think it would provo a failure. Outnot so. Long before Miss Lizzie dismissedher class utd took her seat wc could read inthe countenances of those present, (many ofwhom ore first class teachers), that theNorth Pacoltt Interdenominational SundavSchool convention had scored a success ofwhich it might be proud. When (he mindsand characters of the boys and girls of ourcommon country are moulded for usefulnessby the ban I of pure and noble womanhoodthen will the church, the Sunday schooland Society occupy the cxa'ted plane towhich each aspires. Let the old foggy ideathat women shou'd occupy no portion ofprominence in public affairs, even when shecan make herself useful, be relegated to therear or buried beneath the wheels of progressivecivilization and Christianity.

l'rof. Sams was also there, and in hiausual clear distinct and comprehensivestyle givo some lessons on normal teaching.As an educator Prof. Sams stands upon thetop ruttud of the laddor; and anything we

might say of bis ability would be superfluous.The Slate Suuday school conventionbas elected him to manage its State paperwhich will appear as soon ns possible, andwe advise all who arc in sympathy with thework to subscribe for it.In regard to the convention nt Kllicthe!

we might ray that the floral decoration offlit church wns with the choicest flowersthat (his climate affords, and tlie dinnerspread by the ladies was a compliment tothe occasion. Ivsq J. M. Urcer says thatthere are nineteen cases of sickness withinsight of his home this morning. Most, ifnot all of them fever cases.

Mrs. A. F. Kendrick has our thanks foran abundant specimen of her vegetables.Hhe is one of the best horticulturists wehave. May her shadow never grow less.

Our people are busy making bay, pickingcotton, making molasses, etc. In fact, thisis the busiest season the farmer has if lie isawake to his duty. A few days lost now willbring want or even ruin to many houscfoouldsin this community, and this is no

execftion in tit's respect.Mr. 3. F. Kstss who was a de'egafe to the

State convention last week has returnedhighly pleased with what he saw and heardon his trip. Hon. O. B Fowler has been repairingl)r. darner's gin at Skull Shoals.He put it in tip lop running order.

Mr. fl. W. Kirby and family of HenriettaMi Is, N. C., are visiting relatives andfriends in this neighborhood at this lime.Several of our gins are at work. Most of

Mr. James Brown's family, also that Mrs.J. T. Moorhen I is sick.Much complaint bus been ma le of the

publtc roads. It decs seem thai the overseersin many places have been remiss inihe<r duties.

Mr. J. I*. Williams has a very sick child.The little sufferer has been very near den'lisdoor but his friends think he will pullh-ough now.Some scientific man claims to have made

the discovery that iu the feline tribe onlythe females wear yellow hair. Wo h iverefei-ed the matter to our committee of' know alls" and will publish their reportwhen t ;s rendered.

as all seemed to enjoy it, and gave strict attentionto all of the exercisos. The singingwas splendi 1, there being quite a number ofhymns sang.A recess of one and a half hours was taken

in which a nnst appetizing diuncr was enjoyed.The day being clear, and the temperaturemild, there was everythingone could usk for u "goodo d time," except the crngregationbeing consiJerably disappointed in uot beingable to hear some speakers who were

expected, viz : Mr. Josiah Crudup and Rev.J. A. Bell. The latter was at his work atCarlisle, and Mr. Editor, many think youmissed a treat.We had plenty of rain last Monday night

and Tuesday. There was considerabledamage done to cotlon, as a large quantityof it was open, and was beaten out andmuddied. Some fodder was pulled, nudbadly damnged. Somo young corn was nutto> far gone to be benefitted, and peas were

vary much benefitted, and bo were gardens.So the rain did much good, as well as some

dnmnge. There is much writing at presentamong the Times correspondence about theshortness of the cotton crop. That has beenthe foregone conclusions down here for sometime. If one had kept up with the weathercropreport it would be seen that that wasthe case over the entire State. While wehave a large "weed" and some very goodcotton, it docs not come up to what was expectedof it onco. I believe this section isblessed with the best all-round corn cropthnt it has bad in a long time, and there isa large quantity of Sorghum cane tlrs yeir,and it is turning out splendid per acre,The trouble is, there is an insufficiencyof mills to make it up.And now one crop on the housewives si Ic

of the farming industry, is looting fast, i. e.the chickens. A disease lias nitackcd thechickens of many people, their heads gettingsore and swelling up, and causing death,and they are going fast. It seems to besure death to a bird to take it, and cveryb>dy Is getiing to be afraid to enjoy friedchicken.

Mr. U. M. Fleming, the It. It. Agent hadn very fine and large hog to die of hydrophobialast week. Those who saw the hogsnid that it suffered intensely, squca'ingftnd snapping ovcrything that came in itsway.

Cotton is being ginned quite largely herenow, or was last week. It was g>nnod, almostgiven away, and then shipped on thenext train thnt went North. The price isso low the planters are greatly discouragedand gloomy, and it seems that some arc givingup hope of paying up debts end beingleft men ngtin. With cotton coS'ing sixcents to make, it is said, and being sold ntf>$, farmers who contracted debts under 10cnud 80 cotton, nre in the same predicamentas the frog in the well coming up three feetper day, and falling back forty inches.
