LETTER FROM MILLETT.
Tiff lit Times —The Crops—Steamship
Competition.
[From a Special Correspondent.|
Millett, S. C., Oct. 20,1875.
As the year wears away the tighter
the times become, and by Centennial
day we will be as near the grave as
starvation can carry us. What does it
matter about bottom prices when folks
are short of funds at any price? Bacon
at ten cents, and corn at fifty cents per
bushel, is as bad as twenty cents and a
dollar, unless you can get some chari
table and patriotic man to come to your
rescue; and ten chances to one, when
he does come, he comes to the tune of
20 per cent, interest, 2 % for selling, 2> a
for accepting, &c.
The crop is very nearly gathered, or
housed, aud I stick to my estimate in a
former letter. A half crop will cover
the pile for the best suit at Dorr’s em
porium of cheap clothing. “The Course
of Trade,” published in your Saturday’s
issue, is an excellent indicator of how
country folks are doing. Then watch
it, ye merchant, and govern yourself
accordingly.
Just now a lively competition be
tween the steamers Katie, Rosa and
Carrie has been sprung, and if all can
live at it we are ready to hurrah for
one and well-done for the others. The
Katie (a nobler specimen of a light-draft
river steamer never floated upon the
placid waters of the Savannah) comes
out in flaming capitals and tells the
people ?n the immortal words of Patrick
Henry, or some other Revolutionary
“ cuss,” sink or swim, live or die, sur
vive or perish, she will serve the peo
ple on better terms than any other
boat now or at any time hereafter to
be brought on the river.
Cotton at fifty cents per bale, and
corn and bacon enough to ration two
hands for a month for five cents!
Think of it, Mr. Editor! And let me
ask you, Bill, to stick to your circular,
and you will know more of P. H.’s
first word than you ever thought
it was possible to learn. This op
position has been brought about
by the appearance of Capt. Alex
ander Caban iss with the steamer Carrie.
He is a young man of good looks and
more of the sweet oil and perseveren
tia than most men of his age—is kind
and accommodating, genial and clever,
and always attentive to business except
when you order 150 lbs. fresh D. S.
shoulders. They always come stale as
old cheese, and mighty near as bad to
send on its way rejoicing down the
alimentary canal. And now comes
Capt. Thos. N. Philpot, long and well
known as one of the best steamboat
managers that the river has ever
had, with the steamer Rosa, who says
he will serve the people to the best of
his knowledge, which your correspon
dent believes to be so.
Since writing the above we have been
handed a letter from Capt. Cabaniss re
ducing cotton to forty cents. Go on,
gentlemen, with your rat killing, it wili
settle somebody’s hash.

Funny Scene in a Theatre.
The tran Francisco papers describe a
funny scene that was recently wit
nessed in one of the theatres in that
city, where the famous prestidigatateur,
Hermann, was performing some of his
dexterous tricks for the edification of
the audience. One of the most amus
ing ventures is the demolition of a
“plug” hat borrowed from some good
natured spectator, and its subsequent
wonderful restoration to its owner.
There was a jolly-looking old man
seated near the stage, with anew silk
hat, which he very readily loaned to
the Professor. When Hermann ex
plored the inside of the hat and brought
forth an egg, the jolly old fellow
laughed heartily, and when the faceti
ous magician again explored the pro
lific interior of the hat and brought
forth in some mysterious manner two
rabbits, the jolly old fellow grew quite
hysterical, and his face became a livid
hue. After a little Hermann crushed
the hat into a shapeless mass, and
apologized in a very humble manner
for the accident to the owner, whose
jollity had departed,-and who looked
quite savage. The spectators roared,
but the man raised his cane and dealt
the astonished Hermann four or five
heavy blows about the shoulders. Her
mann took the matter very coolly,
however, and took the battered tile,
saying: “I’ll give you your hat, sir
he" then began tearing it into strips. He
rolled the pieces into a package, and ap
proach! ug the man remarked; “Here’s
your hat, sir ; very much obliged, sir.”
The man indignantly refused the
bundle, and Hermann transferred
it to the hands of an assistant, whom
he directed to hold it above his head.
He then discharged a pistol at it, and
a hat was perceived flying across the
upper part of the theatre. The bundle
turned out to contain anlapoplectic doll,
and another shot discharged toward
the flies brought down the gentleman’s
hat, unhurt and shining, amid the roars
of the audience. Then the Professor
leaned over and clutched the portly
man by the coat, and there was an ani
mated struggle, which was enlivened
by encouraging remarks from the
“gods” in the gallery, such as “Sock it
to the old duffer, Hermann,” “Give him
one for me,” etc. A police officer con
nected with the theatre interfered and
led the unfortnnate man out.
Horrible Death-Drawn Into a Thresh
ing Machine.
[Clyde Letter in the Rochester Democrat-]
On Wednesday of last week one or
those horrible accidents that happen
only once in hundreds of years and by
which a human being was unexpectedly,
in the twinkling of an eye, hurried into
eternity, occurred on the farm of the
Widow Kettles, in the town of Junius,
a few miles south of here. Parties
were engaged in threshing grain, and
at the time of the ?.ccident were thresh
ing loose oats, and Theodore Bodine
was feeding the machine. In some un
explained way a coil of fence wire had
been brought in with the grain, and,
unseen by the pitcher, was pitched
upon the platform and shoved into the
machine with the oats. One end of the
coil was caught by the rapidly revolv
ing cylinder, and the other end
In a very mysterious way, wound
around Mr. Bodine’s neck, and in a
shorter space of time than it is possi-.
ble for one to conceive, the unfortu
nate man’s head was drawn into the
machine, torn into atoms and carried
out with the straw, while portions of
the brain passed through the separator
and came out of the spout below with
the grain. It was sometime before the
other workmen realized the Dature of
the dreadful accident. Mr. Bodine was
seen leaning over the platform in front
of him, but his position being some
what elevated, it was not discovered
that his head was in the machine, and
it was only when blood and brains were
seen coming out of the spout with the
threshed grain that the man attending
to that part of the work called the at
tention of the others to the fact that
something awful had taken place. We
understand the unfortunate man leaves
a wife and two children to mourn his
terrible death.

“THE BOYS IN GREY.”
WE were wont to admire the boys who
wore the grey, though it was not for
the grey alone, but for the noble, chival
rous hearts that beat under it. They com
manded the admiration of the true aud the
brave in every land. But how few admire
a fine head enveloped in grey hair and
whiskers!—very few. We all love admira
tion, and nothing in our appearance is
more calculated to secure it than pretty
hair. If old age, sickness or sorrow has
robbed you of it, you can regain it by the
use of Dr. Tutt’s Hair Dye. Its populari
ty is so great that it caa be found on the
shelves of every druggist in the land.

any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, w e have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
