It is gratifying to know that the beauty of our Sumter young ladies attract considerable attention wherever they go. Miss Hallie Caraos has just returned from Charleston, where her graceful figure and lovely face were much admired and commented upon. Mr. J- T. Wilder, late School Commissioner of Sumter County has resigned his position ms such to accept an eight hundred dollar placeas principal of the Graded School at Ridge Spring, Edgefield County.

H Frank Wilson tendered his resignation. This is wery much to be regretted as Capt. Wilson is a very efficient officer and by his influence sod efforts be bas made tbe compsoy one of the best tn the State. For want of time to attend to the duties as a captain of the Com¬ pany is the reason of bis resignation. Capt. Wilson has the proud satisfaction to know that the S. L. I's have a warm place in their hearts for him and will ever remember their gallant captain with pride and pleasure. The company is no is- looking around fora toan^to take the captaincy of the company. mm ?.?.?».» aa» New Advertisers.

Soja Beans-A Discarded Plant Re* introduced on its Scientific Merits. No doubt our readers are familiar with the greatly advertised excellence of the "Soja Beans," wnich werewidly published last year md this Spring through various agricultural journals, and also in the Monthly Report of he Agricultural Department, of this State. :n fact Dr. McBryde we think endorsed the analysis of the beans to the effect that it was » most Valuable food plant containing nearly »ll the nutriment of meat. Of course we were anxious to get some of these valuable Beans to see bow they grow-. io say nothing of the gftat advantage that it icould be in our household to bare a lot of them on band to malee out a square meal on Mondays when there is not a butcher in the market, nor a chicken or egg to be found in the city. We did our best to get a few, but failed. Our curiosity was at last gratified a few lays ago when Mr. W. S. Wheeler, of the tf ay esvi He vicinity brought to our office a arge and well developed plant of the Soja Bean, with an abundance of Beans upon it. Many of- our readers who have practical recollections covering 20 to 25 years, will be is mncb surprised as we were to know that the Soja Bean is the same tittle round "bean," that was planted in a small way as-a curi- jsity by many citizens hereabouts, just after the war, (and perhaps during the last year of the war) and which was then called .Anny Peas." It grows on a straight bush :hat branches freely near the ground, has a eaf similar to a rank growing bosh bean or row pea, and the seed pods are very numerous, growing close to tbe stems, have two to four seeds in a pod, and the pods while green are azzy. We saw two varieties, one with perfectly *ound bean about tbe size of an Early Lan* Iceth Green Pea, the other had a slightly )blong bean. We were then attracted by the vigorous growth, and thought that there ought to be Kwne merit in the plant, bot every one who tried to cook the beans reported that they :ouid not be cooked done. As tbe "Soja Bean" is now to the front under the recommendation of onr Scientists and is >eing introduced nuder experiments of the Agricultural Experimental Stations, we are encouraged te hope that it bas come back to io good and to stay. That Primary Again. PROVIDENCE, S. C., September ll, '88. No, no, Mr. Editor, we have not worried )urse!f unnecessarily, nor are we as ignorant is you have us to seem to be. We only desire, »long with many of Onx fellow-c" tizeos, not to be disfranchised, which the Executive Com¬ mittee may attempt to do if we allow such icts as thi3 to pass unnoticed. Why, the peo¬ ple of this county need never meet in conven¬ tion again, but place tbe political affairs of the county in the hands of the Execuiive Com¬ mittee to do as they see fit. Rule XIX, to which you refer as a final settlement of the natter, is on:y an arbitrary measure, adopted >y the Executive Committee, overriding the Resolution adopted by the Convention referred to, that Convention the highest expression of tbe voice of a people. No one at tbe time of tbe adoption of Mr. Carnes" resolution looked br tbe complexity of a Primary by majority md a Primary by plurality. Yours truly Providence. While Rule XIX of the Regulations for Pri¬ mary, is a departure, as to the last Primary, Tom tbe action of the Convention, which tdopted tbe majority plan, these Regulations trere published at the same time with the re* port of the Convention proceedings, and the people of the County had from that time, until 4>e primary, nearly 30 days, to protest against »id rule. No snch protest was made, two primaries were held under this ru'e, and no abjection was made until after the second pri¬ mary when this mle happened to fit the case jf one-County Commissioner, and saved the people tbe worry of another primary. "Two wrongs do not make a righ't," and it appears rather strange that "Providence" was satis- 5ed with the rule until after the last Primary. However, if the people-the Democrats-of Sumter County are dissatisfied and want to bani their Executive Committee over the coals, they have tbe right, no doubt, to do it; but before they start the ball to rolling, had they ?ot better think where it will roll to? ---^- Jacksonville In Distress. Jacksonville, Florida, is in great distress. The yellow fever still rages and tbe rumbling hearse at every street corner tells tbe tale of woe. The ravages of the terrible disease are on the increase. The Yellow Flag is now heisted to* the breeze and death is no longer & stranger to the inhabitants of the benighted city. The official bulletin of Dr. Mitchell, presi¬ dent of the board of health, for tbe twenty- four hours ending at 6 P'. M. llth, reports new cases, forty-eight and eleven deaths. Tbe Savannah, Newt of Monday says : The situa¬ tion now seems -to be graver than before The epidemic is fast assuming a more malig¬ nant form, and those taken sick have ar great deal barder expérience than those who were attacked last month. This fact, coupled with the many deaths recently of young men and others, has greatly increased the panicky feeling, and tbe majority of the white people now left here feel that it is time to leave. There are hundreds who feel that they can do no good by remaining, and the deep instinct of self preservation impels them tc look to their own safety. Efforts have been made by the officials, and it is now pretty certain that a train will leave here to-morrow for Hender- sonville, N. C., laden with refugees. They will cot be permitted to take any baggage except a small hand satchel. The Flood AUGUSTA, Sept. ll.-The receding waters of tbe biggest freshet in Augusta's history are watched by the eotire population from win¬ drows and boats. The water reached 38 feet U inches, and at 5 o'clock this morning be¬ gan receding. All day the water bas flooded tbe entire business part of tbe city, and the streets were filled with boats, men wading waist deep, and water in the stores one to three feet deep. Crops in the lowlands along the Savannah River have been utterly de-, stroyed. COLUMBIA, September ll.-It "is difficult to estimate with acct:ray tbe enormous loss eau-ed ny tbe continuance of the Congaree freshet yesterday and to-day. The ruin of the river planters in lower Richland is complete. A week ago they had the most superb crop prospects enjoyed for ten years, but to-day they can expect nothing. Take for instance the two State plantations owned by John C. Seegers. His crops, which were magnificent, are utterly ruined, and be will deem himself fortunate if he can save a part of the stock on tbe place, which is probably entirely under water. The Woven Cord Bed Spring. Woven Cord Furniture Compartí/, Atlanta, Ga : Gentlemen-I have tried your Woven Cord Spring with entire satisfaction.

C., Sept. 7, J 888 Ä Mr. Editor: We are ia the midst of a wet spell. Ho nd red 3 of pounds of cotton are on the ground destroyed-a great deal of it bas come up-and what is open in tbe bolls is so dirty that it is scarcely worth picking. Late peas look fine, and no doubt the potato crop will be a large one, as this is their month to make. Corn planted after oats is splendid. Measles are epidemic through this section ; bnt no deaths, except a few among the ne¬ groes. Tbe protracted meetings in the different Churches about here are over. Rev. J. J. Myers bas bad a fine meeting in one of bis Churches-New Hope-so I am informed. A great many additions. James H. Hawkins, of Magnolia, has been visiting bis friends in this section. We found him a very pleasant young man. Mrs. Alma L. Cro3Swell and little daughter Mabel, and her brother "Rob." Fraser, of Bisbopville have recently visited their rela¬ tives bere. As predicted in these columns, there is wide-spread dissatisfaction abont tbe recent ptimary in this County. Rumors of "trades" and unfair dealings are current. Whiskey seems to have been freely used at some polis. I am informed that at one poll whiskey was in superabundance ; that drunkenness was the order of the day, and a church bad some of its members "up" for getting drunk there. Now che people who carried whiskey to that poll should be ashamed to show their faces to decent people. Col. Elliott, our Congressman, bas supplied bi3 constituents in this section with turnip seed and Sunset Cox's speech on the tariff*. In conjunction with Cox's tariff speech, I have read McKinley's Georgia speech on "pro¬ tection." Both fine. How ungentlemanly to run down McKinley as some papers are doing, because be differs from us in politics. Qui VIVS. Corbett's Mill Items. IONIA, S. C., Sept. 7, 1888. ^T/r. Editor: For" the past two or three weeks there bas been some trouble here in the Meth¬ odist Church concerning the choir. It seems that two or three of the members wanted the cboir broken up, but did not say anything to the cboir about it. On last Sunday a Church conference was held to decide tbe matter. Three votes were cast, all in favor of the cboir breaking up. As most of tbe Church mem¬ bers were not present, there is some indigna¬ tion concerning the action of the Church. It is not known yet bow it will end*but it is thought by a great many that it will break up tbe church if somehing is not done. The members claim that they hare not had justice. We are having more rain now than we want. Mr. James A. Galloway, our new P.M., bas taken charge of the Post Office. I think it will soon be two years since our public road bas been worked. We never see a County Commissioner up here. I wish you would tell them we wilí not hurt them. Gav. bas been through here but I did not see bim ; would like very much to ¿ave met bim. J. F. M.

Soja Beans-A Discarded Plant Re*introduced on its Scientific
Merits.No doubt our readers are familiar with the
greatly advertised excellence of the "SojaBeans," wnich werewidly published last yearmd this Spring through various agriculturaljournals, and also in the Monthly Report ofhe Agricultural Department, of this State.:n fact Dr. McBryde we think endorsed theanalysis of the beans to the effect that it was» most Valuable food plant containing nearly»ll the nutriment of meat.Of course we were anxious to get some of
these valuable Beans to see bow they grow-.io say nothing of the gftat advantage that iticould be in our household to bare a lot ofthem on band to malee out a square meal on
Mondays when there is not a butcher in themarket, nor a chicken or egg to be found inthe city. We did our best to get a few, butfailed.Our curiosity was at last gratified a few
lays ago when Mr. W. S. Wheeler, of thetfayesviHe vicinity brought to our office aarge and well developed plant of the SojaBean, with an abundance of Beans upon it.Many of- our readers who have practical
recollections covering 20 to 25 years, will beis mncb surprised as we were to know thatthe Soja Bean is the same tittle round "bean,"that was planted in a small way as-a curi-jsity by many citizens hereabouts, just afterthe war, (and perhaps during the last year ofthe war) and which was then called.Anny Peas." It grows on a straight bush:hat branches freely near the ground, has a
eaf similar to a rank growing bosh bean or
row pea, and the seed pods are very numerous,growing close to tbe stems, have two to fourseeds in a pod, and the pods while green are
azzy.We saw two varieties, one with perfectly
*ound bean about tbe size of an Early Lan*Iceth Green Pea, the other had a slightly)blong bean.We were then attracted by the vigorous
growth, and thought that there ought to beKwne merit in the plant, bot every one whotried to cook the beans reported that they:ouid not be cooked done.As tbe "Soja Bean" is now to the front under
the recommendation of onr Scientists and is>eing introduced nuder experiments of theAgricultural Experimental Stations, we are
encouraged te hope that it bas come back toio good and to stay.
That Primary Again.PROVIDENCE, S. C., September ll, '88.
No, no, Mr. Editor, we have not worried)urse!f unnecessarily, nor are we as ignorantis you have us to seem to be. We only desire,»long with many of Onx fellow-c" tizeos, notto be disfranchised, which the Executive Com¬mittee may attempt to do if we allow suchicts as thi3 to pass unnoticed. Why, the peo¬ple of this county need never meet in conven¬tion again, but place tbe political affairs ofthe county in the hands of the Execuiive Com¬mittee to do as they see fit. Rule XIX, towhich you refer as a final settlement of thenatter, is on:y an arbitrary measure, adopted>y the Executive Committee, overriding theResolution adopted by the Convention referredto, that Convention the highest expression oftbe voice of a people. No one at tbe time oftbe adoption of Mr. Carnes" resolution lookedbr tbe complexity of a Primary by majoritymd a Primary by plurality. Yours truly
Providence.
While Rule XIX of the Regulations for Pri¬
mary, is a departure, as to the last Primary,Tom tbe action of the Convention, which
tdopted tbe majority plan, these Regulationstrere published at the same time with the re*
port of the Convention proceedings, and the
people of the County had from that time, until
4>e primary, nearly 30 days, to protest against»id rule. No snch protest was made, two
primaries were held under this ru'e, and no
abjection was made until after the second pri¬mary when this mle happened to fit the case
jf one-County Commissioner, and saved the
people tbe worry of another primary. "Twowrongs do not make a righ't," and it appearsrather strange that "Providence" was satis-5ed with the rule until after the last Primary.However, if the people-the Democrats-ofSumter County are dissatisfied and want tobani their Executive Committee over the coals,they have tbe right, no doubt, to do it; butbefore they start the ball to rolling, had they?ot better think where it will roll to?

Jacksonville In Distress.Jacksonville, Florida, is in great distress.
The yellow fever still rages and tbe rumblinghearse at every street corner tells tbe tale ofwoe. The ravages of the terrible disease are
on the increase. The Yellow Flag is nowheisted to* the breeze and death is no longer& stranger to the inhabitants of the benightedcity.The official bulletin of Dr. Mitchell, presi¬
dent of the board of health, for tbe twenty-four hours ending at 6 P'. M. llth, reports newcases, forty-eight and eleven deaths. TbeSavannah, Newt of Monday says : The situa¬tion now seems -to be graver than beforeThe epidemic is fast assuming a more malig¬nant form, and those taken sick have ar
great deal barder expérience than those whowere attacked last month. This fact, coupledwith the many deaths recently of young men
and others, has greatly increased the panickyfeeling, and tbe majority of the white peoplenow left here feel that it is time to leave.There are hundreds who feel that they can dono good by remaining, and the deep instinctof self preservation impels them tc look totheir own safety. Efforts have been made bythe officials, and it is now pretty certain thata train will leave here to-morrow for Hender-sonville, N. C., laden with refugees. Theywill cot be permitted to take any baggageexcept a small hand satchel.
The FloodAUGUSTA, Sept. ll.-The receding waters
of tbe biggest freshet in Augusta's history are
watched by the eotire population from win¬drows and boats. The water reached 38 feetU inches, and at 5 o'clock this morning be¬gan receding. All day the water bas floodedtbe entire business part of tbe city, and thestreets were filled with boats, men wadingwaist deep, and water in the stores one tothree feet deep. Crops in the lowlands alongthe Savannah River have been utterly de-,stroyed.
COLUMBIA, September ll.-It "is difficult toestimate with acct:ray tbe enormous losseau-ed ny tbe continuance of the Congareefreshet yesterday and to-day. The ruin of theriver planters in lower Richland is complete.A week ago they had the most superb cropprospects enjoyed for ten years, but to-daythey can expect nothing. Take for instancethe two State plantations owned by John C.Seegers. His crops, which were magnificent,are utterly ruined, and be will deem himselffortunate if he can save a part of the stock on
tbe place, which is probably entirely underwater.

Letter from Qui Vive.
PISGAH, S. C., Sept. 7, J 888Ä Mr. Editor: We are ia the midst of a wetspell. Ho nd red 3 of pounds of cotton are on
the ground destroyed-a great deal of it bascome up-and what is open in tbe bolls is sodirty that it is scarcely worth picking. Latepeas look fine, and no doubt the potato cropwill be a large one, as this is their month tomake. Corn planted after oats is splendid.
Measles are epidemic through this section ;bnt no deaths, except a few among the ne¬
groes.Tbe protracted meetings in the different
Churches about here are over. Rev. J. J.Myers bas bad a fine meeting in one of bisChurches-New Hope-so I am informed. Agreat many additions.James H. Hawkins, of Magnolia, has been
visiting bis friends in this section. We foundhim a very pleasant young man.
Mrs. Alma L. Cro3Swell and little daughterMabel, and her brother "Rob." Fraser, ofBisbopville have recently visited their rela¬tives bere.As predicted in these columns, there is
wide-spread dissatisfaction abont tbe recentptimary in this County. Rumors of "trades"and unfair dealings are current. Whiskeyseems to have been freely used at some polis.I am informed that at one poll whiskey wasin superabundance ; that drunkenness was theorder of the day, and a church bad some ofits members "up" for getting drunk there.Now che people who carried whiskey to thatpoll should be ashamed to show their faces todecent people.
Col. Elliott, our Congressman, bas suppliedbi3 constituents in this section with turnipseed and Sunset Cox's speech on the tariff*.In conjunction with Cox's tariff speech, Ihave read McKinley's Georgia speech on "pro¬tection." Both fine. How ungentlemanlyto run down McKinley as some papers are
doing, because be differs from us in politics.Qui VIVS.

IONIA, S. C., Sept. 7, 1888.^T/r. Editor: For" the past two or three weeks
there bas been some trouble here in the Meth¬odist Church concerning the choir. It seemsthat two or three of the members wanted thecboir broken up, but did not say anything tothe cboir about it. On last Sunday a Churchconference was held to decide tbe matter.Three votes were cast, all in favor of the cboirbreaking up. As most of tbe Church mem¬bers were not present, there is some indigna¬tion concerning the action of the Church. Itis not known yet bow it will end*but it isthought by a great many that it will break uptbe church if somehing is not done. Themembers claim that they hare not had justice.We are having more rain now than we
