Yesterday morning an old dar key appeared in.tbe streets, having come from a long distance, appar- ently, with no other object than collect a nickel due him by a far mer. The farmer had not the change, so a gentleman standing by agreed to become responsible foi tbe money. There were two other who agreed to stand his security but (till Uncle John seemed “j borons.” Finally t collection wa> taken up, and the bill settled, ami Uncle John went bis way rejoicing If any of our friends want a good collector, we can conscientiously recommend John.

Tbe monthly meeting ot tbo ex ecutive committee of Sumter coun- will convene at ten o’clock, a at the Presbyterian chapel in Americua, on tbe first Saturday in November. A lull attendance ol the committee is earnestly request- A programme will be arranged for the regular meeting of the association which convenes with New Hope churoh in tbe lower part of the county on tbe fourth Saturday in Novemcer. “Come and go down to tbe plan tation with me. I will bring you back early In tbe morning,” said Mr. Cliff Clay to a Recorded man one pleasant morning a few days ago. “All right,” said the scribe, and awav we went. It is 21 miles to the Huegenin plantation, which lies just on this side of tlte Flint river. The plan tation is an old one, and has been in cultivation probably fifty years. The land iq rich, and capable of a high state of cultivation. The plantation contains about 5,000 acres, portions of it being rented to croppers. It is owned by Mr. J. M. Johnson, of Macon, and has been operated for the past ten years by Mr. Clay, who, no matter wheth er there is a drouth or a deluge, has never failed to raakA money on it, as hit books lor the past years will show. Behind Mr. Clay’s easy steppers we covered the 21 miles in just two bouts and a quarter, and con sidering tho sand beds are nuoier ous and heavy, it was very good time. Mr. Clay’s residence on the place is situated on a high hill near the middle of the plantation, and ia amply protected by a targe pine grove, cool and clean. From the sides of the hill, as far as the eye can see, almost, the plantation lies on all sides. It is a beautiful view, and at any time Mr. Clay- can see how his farm work is pro gressing. The plantation has been famous- ly successful, as we arc told, and is run on strict business principles. Everything about the place is neat and clean, and shows careful handling. The negro quarters be tween the pine grove and the river make a small village. On the whole plantation reside the small number of four hundred and eighty-two colored people. In some quarters there is a species ol negro rarely seen in Georgia called the swamp negro, who have a dia lect and brogue of their own. It was simply impossible for us to distinguish one word they said. They are the best kind of workers and rarely come to town. On the same hill with the rest dence are the gin houses, grist mill, stables, sheds, and all the buildings used on a large planta tion. The store houses are con structed of hewn logs, smoothed on the outside, and made to resem ble frame buildings. They will last life time and be good for several centuries then. Tho gin house is combination of ingenuity and common sense. Two gins are ruu by a steam engine, and will turn ont sixteen bales a day on a squeeze. Tbe grist mill is in the saujc build ing, and run by tbe same power. large well by the side ol the building supplies the water, and pipes ate connected with another well in ease of an emergency. The day before we were there thirty- four bates had been sent in, and twenty bales were lying in tho yard.

A fair audience, but not as good the little lady deserved, greeted Patti Ron in “Mizpah” Tuesday night at Glover's Opera House. The little star was bright, spark ling and bewltcklug, and elicited rounds of applause by her caprices. Tbe support was excellent, and fully up to tho mark. While the plot of the play was rather obscure and uninteresting, it abounded in witticisms and by plays that con vulsed the bouse from time to time. Patti lto-a has successfully solved tbe secret of pleasing the people. TORRORIAZ. ARTISTS. We ere now fitting up a fint-clus Bar ber Bhop in the room adjoloiag the post office.

Cobb, and after he had got in good working order Mr, Clay took it in haDd. While there we had ample op portunity to sample Mr. Clay’s artesian water. A force pump has been placed in tbe casing, and water can be bad in any quantity. It has a decidedly mineral taste, and i* said to ire very healthy. The negroes come after it (or miles around. Mr. Clay is a vpry.generotis host, ami lakes enjoyment in entertain ing his friends. We. would have liked to have spent a week on tbe place, eating his fine chickens and demolishing gallons of milk, but we were compelled to come home and attend to business.

Five hundred acres of corn, now nearly gathered, can be teen from the hill. By his gin house is a fifty acre patch of cotton that will yield forty bales— not bad for dry season. His crop pers will average about seven bales to the plow, and Mr. Clay lias al ready got nine bales to the plow from his wages crop, and will get stout one more from each plow. About Spelling.

J. Israels, Hole Agent, October 2ltiai Americas Ga. Capturing; the Spanish Amazons. [New York Sun.] Somo amusing details aro gradually coming to light in regard to tho recent revolt of the female convicts in the prison of Alcala, in Spain. They drove out all the guards and took complete possession of tho place, which they bar ricaded and guarded day and night. They had an ample supply of provisions, and when tho troops arrived to capture tho prison tho women jeered them through tho windows and pelted them with bread aud vegetables from their abundant supply. The ollicer in charge ' of the expedition against these viragoes found himself in a bad fix. For eight days he did not know what to do. To use artillery against the young ladies was out of tho question, and to got into the prison without smashing down tho walls seemed impossible. Every day telegrams from Madrid were poured upon the unfortunate old commander, giving him instructions But all these instructions were far easieT to givo than to execute. At last he con ceived a brilliant idea. He gathered together a band of tho best looking soldiers in his command, mado them shave, wax their moustaches, aud pui oil their gayest uniforms. Then he sent them with a flag of truce to the Ama wins. The handsome fellows were at once admitted, but were not allowed to return; in fact, they did not want to get back, and it was part of tbe com- nmnder’s plan of campaign to have them captured. In a very short time these military prisoners spread disunion and mutiny among the Amazons and then the placo was easily taken. Whereas, Many citizens o! this community have heretofore subjected themselves to unnec. essary expense and burdens® overcharges in the purchase oi goods; Therefore he ii Resolved, That the interests of the people demand tho fore matiou nf a new party wind shall concentrate its patronage on one close-dealing candidate and thus combining with cor rect principles, make still small er profits practical and result it the greatest good tor all.

He figured close on the matter, and caino to tho conclusion that if he bought his own glass ho could get the frames mado at so much a foot and stive about 10 per cent, by putting the glass in and fitting the backs himself, lie carefully measured the frames and got the glass cut at a down-town place. He broke tho largest sheet when ho was taking it home. Ho set tho rest up in his amateur workshop, and that night, when limiting iu the dark for a screw driver, he put his foot through another sheet. Getting to work ho framed cue pic ture and on looking at tho finished job saw that ho must wash the glass, and in taking it out tho frame he knocked the hammer through picture and glass, eou- soquently he didn’t need to wash that particular pane.* Tho next sheet was a tritlo largo for the frame and in chisel ing away tho rebate he drove the chisel clear through and ruined a handsome frame. As the rest of the sheets were cut too small ho fears tho 10 per cent, is about absorbed. Economy is wealth. OUR PLATFORM!

The Power of Couture, [IJzzie York Case.] Man speaks with three tongues, the word, the tone and tho gesture. The word i3 least expressive and last to be trusted in this trinity. G’esture has al ways been the most rowerful language *i f mail, savage or civilized. In ancient Koine, Koscius aud Cicero had a contest to decide which could express a given idea in the most clear and vivid manuer; the actor by gesture or the orator by words. There Li hardly a passion or slate of eonseio isne.-ss that cannot be re vealed moro vhidly by pantomime thau verbal terms iierefy. Every movoneut a man makes is a betrayal of his character, an unconscious escape of tho condition of his inner life.
