The iHeraln. THOS. F. GRENEKER, EDITOUS. W. H. WALLACE, = - NEWBERRY. S. C. WEDNESDAY, JAN. 23, 187S. A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. The Herald is in the highest respect a Fain ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in. terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. 7or Terms, see first page. Johnstone's Equity Digest. A'careful examination shows that the author has bestowed great labor and research upon the preparation of this work, and has produced a book that will be of immense value to the legal practitioner. It is a continuation of Simonton & Con ner's Equity Digest, beginning where they leave off, and embracing Volumes 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Richardson's Equity Reports, thus forming, with theirs, a complete di gest of the Reports of the Court of Equity in this State from its or ganization in 1784 to its termina tion as a separate Court in 1868. The author has added to the bool a "digested index" of all the cases decided in the Court of Equity in this State from 1784 to 1868. This index is arranged alphabetically, and is one of the best featpres of the work. At the request of prominent mem bers of the Bar, he has also added an appendix to tie book giving the decisions of our Courts of Law and Equity on the question of Annual Interest. The recent readoption ol the Usury Law makes this portior of the work specially valuable. The book is neatly printed and bound by W. J. Duffie, Columbia S. C. The only error that has come to our notice is on page 181, where "1816" should be 1784. The author, Silas Johnstone, o: the Newberry Bar, is an equity law yer of large experience and high at tainments in that branch of the profession; he was for many years Commissioner in Equity, and was therefore, well fitted for performing the work that he unadertook. Th< book has met with a hearty recep tion and will soon be founid in ever) lawyer's library. Tea culture. We are indebted to W. G. LeDuec Commissioner of Agriculture ai Washington, for an interesting pamphlet on the practicability oi the culture and manufacture oi Chinese Tea in this country. B3 spring there will be a large numbei of plants for distribution by the Commissioner, to persons who wilt undertake their culture. Soutl Carolina and Georgia will be tried first. Experiments already madE by private parties show that thE plant can be raised in this State Thos. M. Cox, Greenville; J. J. Lucas, Society Hill; Jas. H. Rion, Winnsboro ; Jos. S.- Murdock and Arthur P. Ford, Charleston ; Wm Summer, Newberry ; ME. C. McFaill Anderson ; Alex. W. Foster, George town, and Jos. E. Calhoun, Abbe ville, testify to the vigorous and hearty growth of the plant in their sections. The yield of the plant tc the acre, properly cultivated and manufactured, would be at leasi 8200. The experiment is certainly wortl the time and trouble, and we hop< some enterprising person in this county will take steps to secure plants in the spring, and cultivatE them. The Silver Question. A meeting was held in New York Jan. 16th, under the auspices of the Industrial Union Club, to take ac tion on the silver question. Lengthy resolutions were2 adopted, setting forth that the present hard times are the result of a contraction oi the currency, and that the land iE filled with fraud, embezzlement and bankruptcy, crime, suffering and starvation ; that Congress should al once abolish national banks, and pass the Bland silver bill withoui amendment, and also the Ewing resum.-ption repeal bill. Dire disas ter is predicted in the resolutions if these things are not accomplish ed. The Democratic Executive Com. mittee of Anderson County, at a meeting the 11th inst., recommend ed the different Clubs in the Coun. +y to adopt the plan of primnar3 Grand Lodge 1. 0. 0. F. of S. C. The Annual Session of the above order was held at Orangeburg, on Wednesday, the 16th instant. Dr. W. F. Barton, of Orangeburg, Dep uty Grand Master, presided. Most of the work performed was of a secret nature. The Grand Lodge being heavily in debt, a resolation was unani mously adopted assessing the treas ury of each subordinate lodge 50 cents on each member to liquidate said indebtedness. It is proposed to reduce the sala ry of the Grand Secretary from $200 to $50-to be considered next session. The following officers were elect ed: W. G. M., W. F. Barton, of Or angeburg. D. G. M., W. H. Tarrant, of Charleston. G. W., J. D. Dunlap, of Camden. G. T., John Heeseman, of Char leston. G. S., Robert James, of Charles ton. G. M., A Fisher, of Orangeburg. G. C., W. H. Hunt, of Newberry. G. G., H. N. Emlyn, of Columbia. G. H., W. A. Jones, of Charles ton. An Agricultural Society. The report from the last meeting of Pomona Grange, in our Grange Column last week, shows that steps have bcen taken to organize an Ag ricltural Society in this county. A committee has been appointed, composed of some of our best farm ers, to make inquiries, and draw up rules and regulations, to be report ed to a call meeting of the Pomona Grange,.to be held at Newberry, February 1st. Since the Grangers have taken hold of the matter, we have no doubt that Newberry County will have an AgricrItural Society that will compare favorably with any in the State. Registration. Article VIII, Section 3, of the Constitution: "It shall be the duty of the General Assembly to provide from time to time for the registra tion of all electors." The Legislature should at once carry out the provision of this sec tion. It is a wise and just pros sion, and while the Radicals were in power the Democrats were con tinually clamoring for "registra tion ;" and if, as many seem to think, the Radicals are laying plans for a deperate effort to regain as cendancy in the State next fall, the Democratic Legislatt"e had better take this step to prevent the old practice of repeating. Ohio. The election the 15th inst., by the Legislature of Ohio, of Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton to the 'U. S. Senate to succeed Stanley Mathews secures another distinguished and able democrat in that body. Both Ohio's Senators are democrats, and both extraordinary men-Thurman and Pendleton. MYexican Veterans. The bill pensioning the Merican veterans, reported on the 17th, contains a clause repealing, as re gards the veterans, that clause of the general pension law which dis criminates against those who served in the Confederate army.

Whereas reports and unauthorized statements with regard to the action of this General Assembly in the mat ter of the debt of the State have been circulated, to the great detriment of the credit of the State, and have weakened the faith in the honor of her people; and whereas the commit tee appointed to investigate the pub lic debt, with a view to the detection of forgeries, duplicates, bonds without authority of law, and the reporting of the actual indebtedness of the State, have, by reason of the magnitude of the work, been unable to complete their report as easily as was expected; now, for the purpose of quieting all such ungrounded fears, and of putting a stop to injurious speculations in the faith of the State, be it Resolved, That it is the sense of this General Assembly that the faith, honor and funds of the State are solemnly pledged for the payment of the public debt as fixed by the pro visions of the act known as the con solidation act, and that prompt pro visions will be made, as soon as the forgeries, duplicates and bonds issued not authorized by that set have been ascertained from said report. Resolve'd, That it is the confident belief of this body that the people of this State will in no way, direct or in direct, countenance any course leading to repudiation, either partial or total.

As such, I embrace th privilege to offer may views, respecting matter in which I feel that I am deepi; interested. I am a law-abiding man, havr ever been so ; pay my taxes and license debts, &c., as much so as any man in thi or any other community. But,while I do so, cannot help saying openly, that what is re quired of me, is not required of others. am, sir, a liquor-dealer in this place, an have been for many years. The law re quires that I shall close my bar room a 6 o'clock the evening before, and keel closed until 6 o'clock the morning afte; days of election. Now, sir, if I am require' to pay my licerse, and abide the require ments of the law, I want to know if an' other man is not under the same obliga ions, so far as furnishing voters or othe persons with liquor on election days. I is certainly a bad rule that won't work botl ways. Shall I be required to pay my due and close my house on certain days, in or der to keep down riots, drunkenness and disorder, which perhaps would'.be the casi if liquor was dispensed ? But others whc keep no bar, or do not pay a license, dea it out unsparingly in direct violation of then law. Are others better than I? Are cer tan persons to be allowed privileges (fo which I pay,) and I to sit still, pay taxe! and License, subject to indictment, anm those persons to do as they please, wall over the law and go Scott free ? If such i to be the -case, then we had better do awaj with the liquor law, let every man do as h< pleases and stand his own ground. Fai play is a jewel, and I hold that fair plaj has not been extended to the liquor dealei according to the requirements of the law If the present law cannot be carried out, move for a repeal of the present law, an< that a stronger, better, miiore defined, morn explicit law be euacted, setting out mor< clearly and promiscuously what is the in tent and purposes of the law ; in othei words, what and who is a violator. If wn must have laws, which we all know is true let us by all means carry it out as goo citizens, as men, or talk no more ; let jus tice be done though the heavens fall. JAMlES GAUNTT.

The Chufa, its Merits and Val ne as a Stock Food. MESSRS. EDITORS: As I have grown the t Chufa the past season, I propose to give i my experience and views upon the subject for the benefit of my fellow-farmers who have had no experience with them. As there has been so much said and written t about them of late, I will not be elaborate, but brief and to the point. 1 I regard the chufa as the key to the suc- E cess of the South, as the greatest driw- t back to the Southern farmer is the immense f quantity of bacon he has to buy to carry on his farming operations, and t-he only e way to remedy this is to raise his own ba- f con, which can be easily and cheaply done by planting the chufa. I claim that every i farmer can raise his own bacon and lard as t easily and cheaply as the housewife raises her poultry, if he will but plant an acre or two in chufas. They are very prolific and require very little cultivation. They will yield from two to four hundred bushels per acre, (accord ing to the land.) All that is necessary to be done is to keep the grass and weeds from them until they get a start, and they will soon smother the grass out, as they grow and branch so rapidly. Think of it two to four hundred bushels per acre! What else can we raise to yield so enor- t mously with so little cultivation? Why not raise all the hogs we want and give Cuffee his share of stlalage besides ? Chemi cal analysis shows that they contain more fattening properties than anything else yet discovered-superior to corn, sweet pota toes, wheat, oats, barley, &c. The Edge field Advertiser, last winter, gave a full history of them, with their chemical analy sis, as compared with a!I other fattening products, and proved that they were supe rior to all. I wish every farmer could have read the article, as it was very interesting and profitable. There is scarcely a number of the South ern Cultivator, (published at Athens, Ga ,) but What urges upon the farmer the neces sity of planting chufas and raising his own meat. I planted a small patch-an ordina ry dwelling house would have covered the land-and gathered from it twelve bushels, and confident I did not get more than half. The patch was surrounded by sweet pota toes, peanuts and cow peas, and when I put my hogs in they rambled over the different patches the first day, but finally, on the secoild day, they centered on the chufa patch, and did nos leave it as long as they could find one. To use a common expres sion, they rooted the patch "up-side down" and left potatoes, peanuts and cow peas in profusion untouched as long as they could find a chufa. Chickens and poultry of all kinds are ex ceedingly fond of them, and it fattens them very fast, and causes them to lay eggs in abundance. The chufa imparts a delightful flavor to the flesh, and causes the fowls to demand a higher price in market. It im partd a flavor similar to the canvass back .ducks that feed on celery on the Chesa peake Bay, so noted and so much sought after for their delicate flavor. Since our disastrous war there has been quite a change in our system of farming in the South. Formerly cotton, corn, and a little wheat and oats were all we thought of planting, but since the war we have been experimenting with the various other pro ducts-seeking for the cheapest and most profitable food for stock. All of the grasses of the North and West, as well as of Eu rope, have been tried, none of which have given entire satisfaction (taking everything into consideration) except the chufa, and strange to say, but few farmers in this por tion of the State know anything about it. It fills the bill of the Southern farmer ex actly. 1st. Because of its productiveness. 2d. The small amount of labor required for its cultivation, and its value as a food for hogs and forage for horses and cattle. More food and forage can be gathered from one acre of chufas than anything yet intro duced into the South-espcially if we take .into consideration the amount of labor re quired for its production. It is said by all writers who have experimented with them, that land that will make ten bushels of corn to the acre will make one hundred bushels of chufas, but let us say fifty bushels, (which is certainly a low estimnate) and see how it stands as compared to corn. The standard weight of chufas, after having been washed and dried, is 46 lbs. to the bushel. 10. bushels corn, 56 lbs. to the bushel, would be 560 lbs.; 50 bushels chu fas, 46 lbs. to the bushel, would be 2,:300 lbs.-giving 1,'140 lbs. to the acre in favor of chufas, and actual experiments have eg tablished the fact that pound for pound jin flesh producing qualities the chufa is su perior to corn. This may seem an exagge rated and overdrawn calculation, but it is not, as every man who has given them a fair trial will substantiate. I have in my possession at least a dozen articles from men of thorough experience with them, giving much larger yields than this. Chemical analysis has proven that they are superior to corn, sweet potatoes, wheat, barley, or anything else that we feed hogs, and as we can raise so much more with so much less cultivation, every farmer who wishes to succeed should get astock of hogs and plant chufas. IThe tops can also be utilized as a forage for horses and cattle. It makes excellent hay, cut, say the latter part of July or Au ust, before the leaves begin to turn, and te utigwill be a decided benefit to the tubers, causing them to grow larger, ripen earlier and better, and attain more sub stance and solidity. I will give a few extracts from the Hon. C. C. Langdon, as copied in the Southern Cultivator, from Western Farmer's Alma nac, and a gentleman who has had twenty years' experience with them. It will be observed that his experience was exactly the same as mine in' regard to the sweet potatoes, pea-n uts and cow peas. He says, "while the Chufa is highly relished by all kinds of stock and poultry, its principal and reatest value is as feed for hogs-for making pork. It is exceedingly nutritious, sweet, oily, and pleasant to the taste of 'both man and beast.' There is no food that hogs are so fond of, nothing on which they will grow and fatten so rapidly, no thing on which they can be fattened and made into pork so cheaply. One season as an experiment, wve planted in the same field sweet potatoes, pea-nuts, cow peas and chufas. About the first of October, the hogs were turned into the field with the privilege of helping themselves to such as they liked b'est, and notwithstanding their well known fondness for sweet potatoes and pea nuts, they at once commenced on the chufas and would not touch either putatoes, pea-nuts or cow peas, until the supply of chufas was exhausted, or two short to meet the demands of appetite. Hogs will also leave corn to feed on chufas, and when we take in'.o consideration that on a given amount of land the chufas will produce i eight to ten times as much as corn, the ad vantage of the chufa for making pork is condusively established." Hogs may be turned into the chufa field usualyv hi "the first of October, and the1 supply sh~ould be sufficient to furnish full feed until the first of December, by which time, no matter how poor they may have been when turned in, they will be "as fat as they can wallow." Then give them tell days' f'eed on corn, and they will be "fit for the gods." Some maintain that the] corn feeding is unnecessary. A neighbor of the writer last season butchered his hogs direct from the "chufa patch," and says he never had better or firmer pork in his life; and lie is a man of large experience in pork making."] ,~ .i.~ ~ ,-,d,,~h1o ~'haracteristics 1 It is the "magnum bonum" of all tho new to mportation-, and will be the successful key ha D the prosperity of the South. I believe the nuts will eventually be tilized as horse food, and machinery in- cal ented for gathering them, as they are so rolific and cheaply raised, that they will upersede corn for that purpose. I te I said in the commencement that I would e brief and here is quite a lengthy article, to .nd yet I have not said half that could be ab aid in favor of the chufa. I could not have of aid less and done anything like justice to e he merits and value of the chufa as a stock ot ood. I would insist upon every farmer etting a few and trying them for himself, 8t .nd my word for it, he will think he has de ound a "gold mine." ne I have a few bushels to sell, and any one ev rishing to experiment with them can get hem at 35c. per quart, postage paid, or u S8.00 per bushel, by addressing me at thappell's Depot, Newberry Co., S.

January 10th, 1878. th DEAR GEORGE-I finished my ap >renticeship under Mr. Sneider, about ix months after Mr. Shenk's death. a Besides the assurance of my master, a felt that I was thoroughly instructed ev n my trade. Any man Vho is not Y onscio.us of proficiency in anything, s surely lacking in something,-al- ' vays beariog in mind the difference etween consciousness and pretensions. : lost no time in coming across the iver, and setting up my shop near fri ny father's house,-resolving with ha he first clink of my hammer upon my w invils to withstand every temptation Ou o change my place of business ; be- th "use thoroughness never seeks, but ai s sought after. There is only one sception to this rule, namely: as no M an is thoroughly a man until he has helpmeet, it becomes necessary for se him to seeK for a wife, yet, I believe at to he seeking is somewhat mutual, in as di nuch as no woman can be a thorough woman until she has a husband. It o vas while I and Elviry (or Elvirie, as ie ,er sister who has been off to school a1 vrites it) were trying to fix tpon the half way line, that Josephus Henker, li ny second cousin, (though since I a iave investigated the matter more ac ,urately, he is only my third cousin) yame over from Lexington Court House,-having been ungratefully - riven off by Schnitt,-and set him self down in my father's house, very uch against the will of the old man, who always did, and does to this day, espise good-for-nothingness. Pass: tc ing over much of unpleasantness, I ei vill relate what took place the last el lay I ever saw Josephus. 0 He came into my shop, while mys >ld friend and schoolmate, Simon ri Younginer, was there to have his horse hod. I never speak to anybod ywhcn w [ am at work ; and I wish I had the P1 power to prevent myself, at the same la time, from listening. I could not elp hearing the conversation that e passed between my visitors. Said 8 osephus, "If I had a dog, I would te ame him jacet." "Why ?" asked '1 Simon. "Because," said Hlenker, C( whenever I wanted him, I could say,c Hicjacet." I did not know whath the fool m!eant ; nor did Simon. He at must, however, have intended some eaning ; for he laughed, as though Le had said something witty. I sup pose it was some of his dog latin. I a became indignant and worked intemn-~ 0o perately, which ought never to be a one by an adept. Steadiness and thoruhnessgotogether. I.n conse- at :uence of my excitement I spoilt three orse shoe nails, a circumstance I SP have ever thought of with chagrin, to here would have been no trouble, if . he intruder had left after this. But di de remained, and began a desparaging arangue about blacksmiths. He said ne could prove that originally a black-D mith had only one eye, which was in tl he middle of his forehead; and that m ;he first one who was ever known, s et by the name of Polly Feewus. ~ow, iI' there is a trade which is the d ~ssnce of manliness, I say it is black- re mithinsg. I nail that upon the door 4 )f my shiop as a thesis. When, there- a ore, I heard my noble trade derided,G ts having been originated by a woman at >f the name of Polly, I lost all comn- t nand of myself. I rushed upon Jo-t ephus, collared him, and turning him with his back towards me, I kicked im thoroughly. In fact I hurt him. ie left the piny woods, and I have ever seen him since. I have heard f him, however. Whatever a smlat :erer does is counterfeit. He sup aies his deficiencies by pretension. so, II expected to hear of my third ousin being confined to hard labor in D Spenitentiary, for forgery. What ri vas my astonsishment to learn, eight pr rears after his departure, that he was a i judge in the northern part of Mis sisippi! In deed, I then felt con-fe inced that a little learning is a dan- su erous thing, and I determined to be t still more strenuous advocate forGEr ~horougness. 11 I see that my little writing took up 1 oo much of the column.
