Whitaker, who had not been in the city in several weeks on ac count of sickness. He is one of our best citizens and we trust he will be speedily restored to his usual good health. Mr. W. H. Hall, Jr., whose new family grocery store is situated on Hancock street, between Whilden’s stable and J. M. Clark's drug store, presented us the ! other.' 'day with specimens his of “Prize Beauty,” two for a nickle cigars; and candor com pels us to say that we have rarely met with a better cigar of late and that considering its price, it is a blessing to lovers of the weed to have such cigars on the market.

This board consists of three professors. Mr. Supple took a high stand in his examination when he was selected as a teacher in the public schools and has constantly grown in favor until he has reached his present honorable position among the educators of the country. Mr. Wm. Rice, of the western part of this county, showed us yesterday a sample of sea Island cotton raised by’ him as an experiment. He said the stalks produced three times as much as the average short staple plant, and an acre would make he be lieved at least half as much of sea is land as of short staple cotton. As the former is worth nearly three times as much per pound in the market as the latter, it would seem that it would pay our farmers to try the cultivation of the sea island sufficiently to deter mine whether it would not be the bet ter crop for them to cultivate. Our exchanges inform us that a planter in Schely county which is far away from the sea coast, made a success this year of the cultivation of the sea island variety’. Death of Miss Rebecca Blood- worth.—It is with sincere regret that we have heard of the untimely death of Miss Rebecca Bloodworth, aged about seventeen years, a notice of which is contained in our correspond ence from Stevens' Pottery. The wri ter knew her well in her childhood, and can well understand that the winsome and affectionate ways which caused the tendrils of love to bind her close and fast to the hearts of parents and kindred, when a child, have strengthened as she advanced to young womanhood.' The ways oi Providence are dark and mysterious to our view, but they are founded on infinite wisdom and goodness. The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chesley Bloodworth, who have lost the child of their heart's best affections, and the brothers and sisters of the deceas ed all have our sincere sympathy. R. L. H.

Blount, the faithful representa tive of the 6th District in Congress, was escorted to the Court House by the Blount Volunteers. He addressed a very good audience of the most in telligent citizens of the county for perhaps one and a half hours, discuss ing the most interesting political topics of the day, but giving his chief attention to one which is the most im portant of them all to the Southern people, we mean the Tariff. We were pleased to notice that he commanded the attention and interest of his hear ers in a marked manner while discuss ing this intricate and somewhat dry topic. JLt is amazing that our people are so indifferent to this subject, in which their moneyed interests are so intimately involved. If they could be made to understand that they pay their proportionate part of $350,000,- 000 (or thereabouts) to support the federal government, and that this tax is taken from their pockets mainly in a way which they are unconscious of; that is in causing them to pay about 35 per cent more for clothes, tools, and in fact all the necessaries of life near ly, than they would have to pay but for an iniquitous tariff, they surely would awake to a sense of the wrongs they sustain through vicious legisla tion at Washington. All sensible peo ple should look into this subject, which, before the war, was the great bone of contention between the north ern people, who were made rich through a tariff that built up and sus tained their great manufacturing es tablishments and covered their sterile lands with what were almost palaces, and the people of the south, who in those days knew that they were rob bed by what built up their country men of the north. The Southern statesmen educated the people to know the r right and true interests; now, the press has taken the place of the great orators of other days, and too many southern journals are con trolled by men who have a direct in terest in manufactories or are paid to sustain a policy which is a great in jury to our people. We have been drawn on to say so much on this very important subject, that we must now close by saying 1 that Col. Blount paid a handsome compliment to the fine volunteer company which bears his name and after the close of his address received and gave many a hearty handshake with many of his friends who were present. ~PIED, At the residence of his father in this city on Friday last, Henry, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Ailing, aged about 13 years. He had been sick two or three weeks with a fever, which has been a rather prevalent and dangerous disease for several weeks past both in this city and county. The deceased was a most promising and lovable boy and was the idol of his parents and sisters, he being the youngest of the family. We most sincerely sympathize with those who have been so sadly bereaved. The funeral services were held on Sunday morning at the family resi dence, the Rev. Donald McQueen of ficiating. A number of friends were present, to show their sympathy with the bereaved family ami the greater portion of them accompanied the re mains to our city cemetery, where they were buried. §.
