S?<ant 04ttfll^Kis not often that wo venture?to advise our farmers what to do about their farms, from the. simple reason that we have a sott of a sneaking idea that they know more about their j business than we do, but, in view of the cborr.corn crop this year, we must be ex cused for offering just two words of ad vice, and they are, "Plant Oats." Yes, friends, plant oats early and often. They are. a good thing to have around the plantation when corn is scarce. That is an interesting article from the Greenville Nubs, upon the subject of ex tensive grape growing near that city, and It should afford food for reflection to our people who have all along neglected this and kindred industries. Of course it is not necessary to go into the busi ness cn such a large scale in order to make it profitablerer a few acres can be made to return as much in profits as many times the area in cotton. Let us have a few instances of grape growing as a business. Many Southern exchanges are recom mending young men to become brick masons, since these command $6 a day. The young doctor is advised to throw away his pill box, the incipient lawyer the green bag and the clerk his ledger or .. jpard ?tick. The $6 per day argument Is good, bot every man investing in a trowel and snatching up brick and mortar would not necessarily make a brick mason. The dizzy heights of success are not more easily reached in masonry than in other avocations. Bangs.?The ladies have gone back '-earbangs siDce they have been pressed Into service by the male juveniles. If they insist on it, we think they should be allowed the monopoly in that line, Thus far, it seems to be confined pretty much to those who formerly parted their hair in the middle,.and.this is but anoth er step in the encroachment oa woman's rights. We feel.'half inclined to guess what will be the next move,; but we forbear, and will awaifi further develop ments in that hue.. *--~2&osia?atet>.-^T^o friends; of-Mr?'( C. M. Pooser, of our County, will be gratified to learn that he hae been com pletely exonerated from the charge which was brought against him ot placing ob structions upon the Atlanta & Charlotte Air Line Railroad in Georgia. He was tried last week at Clarksville, Ga? Gen. Izlar aeting as his counsel. The jury promptly broughfrin a verdict of acquit tal, the charges lacking substantiation at all points." The young man returns to his home with a lighter heart. A Treat in Store.?We take espe cial pleasure in commending to our amusement-loving population the enter tainment to be given Tuesday evening at Way's Hall by the Summerville Dra matic Club, which gave an entertain ment sometime ago in our town. The ?play to be rendered on Tuesday evening is a popular comedy entitled "Com rades," which is very highly spoken of fc%f those4ia.ve seen it. "The Club will be assisted by two young ladies of our town. We hope our citizens will give the Club a warm reception, as it weH deserves iheir patronage.

The Bethel Picnic?The picnic of the Bethel Church Sunday School on last Thursday was a successful and inter esting affair. The-day was pleasant and everything combined to make the occa sion a happy one. The Sunday School jmderjhe bnperintendency of Mr. Hamp Miller is in a most flourishing condition, , numbering about one hundred and seven ty-five pupils* This Church is one of j the charges of Rev. J. B. Platt. The day was spent in the usual picnic sports and amusements and all present of the large crowd seemed to enjoy themselves. The religious exercises were particularly interesting and profitable, excellent speeches having been delivered to the children by Dr. Raysor, Rev. J. B. Massabeau and Mr. B. P. Izlar. Pas sages of scripture were creditably recited hy Misses Patrick, Foures and Miller. The dinner was sumptuous and reflected the hospitality of the good people of the community. The day will long be re membered with pleasure by all whose good fortune it was to participate in the celebration. Help the Schools.?The Newberry Herald, alluding to the common practice of people1 depending altogether on the public schools without any effort to help them with private funds and then in dulging in wholesale abuse of the public school system, says: "Try an illustra tion. Those farmers who are in the ha bit of "slopping their hogs' every morn ing, have doubtless^ observed that when the slop is exhausted, some of the hogs will Tange' off and act on the principle of Toot hog or die,' while others will lie About the swill-trough the live-long day, waiting and grunting for more slop, just so, when the public school fund "is exhausted, certain neighborhoods sup plement it and keep their schools open? to them it is a blessing; but other neigh borhoods, that are disposed to wait for more public *pap,' close their schools and corse the State, and prate about the inefficency of the public school system. The Illustration is uot elegant, but iten our point-^and those who have to see ite inelegance will have judgment to appreciate its applies. The system is a farce to nobody who use it ma farcical way." - Deep Bock in Syphons at Patrick's. The recent rains have been wry re freshing. Mrs, Scoville md her s?n, Ed., have goneon a'visit.North.

Williams, Esq., | one of Barnwell's representatives in the Legis lature, was in our town on legal business on Tuesday. The Greenville Netos thinks it is the air of Abbeville, or the water, or the other fluids that make the papers of that place so cranky. The managers of the Southern Expo sition at Louisville intend to invite the editors of every State in the Tjnioa to visit the Exposition. Parents ought to make it a business to visit the schools in which their children are taught as often as they can. It will be beneficial in many ways. Tax Collector Albergotti reports very light collections of taxes up to this time. The indications are that the rush will be very great towards the close. An Athens young lady, on being ask ed if she was going to see ''Only a Far mer's Daughter," replied no, but she would like- to be a farmer's wife. We smoked two very fair cigars made byMrs.B;'V. MoMhhael, of the Fork. The tobacco from which they were made was raised on the lady's plantation also. Bev. Mr. Clarkson preached in the Episcopal Church of our town on Sunday to a large congregation. The interest ing services were interspersed with ex cellent music. Misses Lizzie Dexter and Fannie Moseley left for the Columbia Female College on last Saturday to complete their education. We wish them success in their pursuit of knowledge. Miss Bosa Sigwald, of Charleston, is spending a time in our town with her sister. Mrs. Bell. Miss Mamie Connor, of the same place, is also on a visit here and is staying wilih her sister, Mrs. Dr. J.'G. Wannamaker. - Mr. C. P. Branson has returned from the sea islands on the coast of Beaufort where he had been for several months for the benefit of his health. We are glad to note that he has derived much benefit from the trip.. The Town Council will elect a Clerk and other officers next-Tuesday. We understand that candidates are plentiful for the various positions to be tilled; so the. average citizen need give himself no concern about the matter. Mr. Virgil Dibble, of the Charleston High School, visited the schools in Orangeburg on Monday. Such visits do good to teachers tind pupils and should be repeated oftener by all who are inter ested in education. They will always be appreciated. Attention is dii-ected to the advertise ment of "Cotton Seed Wanted" In an other column. It is said that cotton seed meal is more valuable for fertilizing than the seed itself. Pamphlets on the subject can be obtained from the Char leston Oil Manufacturing Company. Major T. S. Mills, of Chester County, has won the $500 offered by Latham^ Alexauder & Co., of New York, for the nearest estimate of the cotton crop of 1882-83. His estimate was 6,992,862 bales, 628 bales over the actual crop as estimated by the Financial Chronicle. Our State House at Columbia seems to be getting notorious lor pugilistic ex hibitions. Two affairs of the kind have occurred there wi thin a year or two in which high State officials were engaged. This is very uufortunate and does not exert a very desirable influence abroad. We understand that several new build ing8 are going up at Branchville and that there are evidences that the place is improving. The schools of the town are flourishing. Miss Fickling's school open ed well; aod the Branchville Hteh School, under Prof. Yam ey, has already reached nearly fifty pupils with the prospect of steady increase. We hear complaints of the noise and offensive language frequently used by the prisoners at our jail. They, oft'jii, get at the windows aud converse boister ously with passers by and sometimes in dulge in epithets and expressions that are by no means elegant or elevating. We don't mean to attach any blame to any one, but the public; would be pleas ed if the nuisance could be abated. Local Option Law.?The following is the text of Section 1 of the Local Op tion Law, passed by our General As sembly, which we print for the infor mation of our leaders, as the matter will, doubtless, soon be brought up for consideration: :tBe it enacted by the Senate and House of Bepresentatives of the State of South Carolina, now met and sitting in General Assembly, and by the authority of the same, that whenever a number of the citizens of any incorpo rated city, town or village in this State, equal to one-third of the number of votes cast in the next preceding municipal election therein, shall, in writing, on or before the fifteenth day of November in any year, petition for an election upon the question of 'license' or 'no license,' for the sale of intoxicating liquors there in, the Council of such city, town or vil lage is hereby authorized and required to submit such question to the qualified electors of such city, town or village at a special election to be held therein, on or about the first day of December tol lowing; and if a majority of said electors vote in favor of'license,' then the Coun cil of such city, town or village shall grant license according to the laws now of force in the State, lor the sale of liquors m such citv. town or village for the ensuing year; hut if a majority of said electors vote in favor of 'no license,' then it shall be unlawlul for the Council of such city, town or village so voting, to -grant any license for the sale of any spirituous or intoxicating liquors, bitters or fruits prepared with such liquors, for the ensuing year." Killed by a Cotton Press.?A dispatch to the News and Courier, under date of September 18th. from Georges' Station, says: '"Mr. John A. Judy, an estimable citizen and successful planter of this section, died to-day from injuries sustained by the falling of a piece .of tim ber across his shoulders while packing a bale of cotton on an old-fashioned and somewhat decayed screw press. . He lived several hours after the accident. Although owning considerable real estate himself he has for several years past cultivated and managed the large planta tion of-the late Chancellor Carroll on the Edisto, at which' place he died." ? Bow at the State-House. "N. ? G. G.," correspondent of the News and Courier, gives the following 'amount, of a row that occurred at the State-House in Columbia on Saturday: VMr. J. P. Thomas, Jr., the Governor's ?private??secretary, was standing this morning in the corridor of the State Hpuse'm front of the Governor's office, quietly 'talking to two gentlemen about an : absent friend, when Col. James |F. Lipscomb, Secretary of State, came up and injected into the conversation au offensive remark about Mr. Thomas' friend.. According to the most credible accounts,'Mr. -Thomas said, 'Mr.?^?is ray friend; you have a right to form your own opinion of him, Colonel, but I do not agree with you.' Col. Lipscomb thereupon renewed his assertion in a loud tone. Mr. Thomas quietly reiter ated his reply and then walked into his office. Presedtly Col. Lipscomb.went to Mr. Thomas's inner office and met him at the door saying angrily, 'You virtual ly said I lied just now.' Mr. Thomas replied, 'No, I didn't. I merely took up for a friend.' Col. Lipscomb sudden ly rushed forward and slapped Mr.Thor mas's face. Mr. Thomas replied with several blows. They then grappled. Col. Lipscomb weighs over 200 pouuds and Mr. Thomas is of slight build. In their struggle they moved to the other end of the office when Mr. Thomas pick ed up an iron cup from the stove and was dealing his opponent energetic blows on the face with it when others came in and separated them. Col. Lipscomb retired much battered and his face cover ed with blood. Mr. Thomas was unhurt. The attack on Mr. Thomas has caused much comment unfavorable to Secretary. Lipscomb. The germ of his action was the discussion several months ago about the Secretary's discharge of a clerk with out cause. Mr. Thomas's friend had furnished the facts ' for publication, and Mr. Thomas had joiued in presenting a testimonial to the gentleman discharged. Secretary Lipscomb strongly resented both actions and- has never forgiven them." Mr. Thomas is a son of Col. J. P. Thomas of the Citidel Academy. ' A somewhat spicy sequel to the obove occurred on Sunday. IL.appears that Mr. X. G. Gonzales, the correspondent of the News and Ccurter, was the iriend of Mr. Thomas alluded to in the above controversey against whom the ire of Col. Lipscomb was chiefiy directed. It leaked out in Columbia that Mr. Gonzales had made up his mind to go down to the State House and inform Col. Lipscomb that he told uan infamous falsehood" and knew that he was telling it. Gov. Thompson hearing of this promptly had Mr. Gonzales put uuder a peace bond which probably has averted a very serious if not fatal encounter. A Desperate Snake Fleht The Greenville News has gone into the snake story business. Read the fol lowing from its columns: 1'On Sunday last, John T. McDaniel, who lives about two miles from this city, on the Augusta road, heard a peculiar noise proceeding from a hollow . tree near his house. Upon looking in that direction he saw a rattlesnake's pilot encircled by a king snake. The rattlesnake's pilot was making desperate efforts to free himself. Both the reptiles were well grown and of full size, and the struggle was a remark able one. The kiug snake did not loose his hold, but tightened. As he did this the bones in the rattlesnake pilot's back seemed to crack, as a sound like this was heard as the two snakes struggled. The king snake did not have an easy task, as his opponent was larger. The rattlesnake pilot bit the king snake sev eral times, but he did not regard this, except to "tighten up" a little. The snakes fought for about one hour. Fin ally the rattlesnake pilot succumbed to the pressure and died slowly. The king would elevate his head now and then and glance at his opponent as if examin ing his condition. When the "pilot" had ex pired the king quietly began the process of swallowing him, thus saving funeral expenses. The* king had worked bard for his supper aud had a good ap petite, for the "pilot" soon disappeared. The constrictor had conquered the poi sonous fangs and retired on his honors crawling up the hollow in the tree again. Water was thrown on the snakes to separate them but the king meant busi ness and did not stop a moment. A Connecticut Mystery. The authorities of Stratford, Conn., are earnestly engaged in the investiga tion of one of those murder mysteries in which that State may be said to abound ?the death of Mrs. Rose Ambier, whose bruised body, with the clothes half torn off and bearing many marks of a conflict between the "victim and her murderer, was found lying near a garden wall m a lonely place near the village. A colored man?Bostou White?was arrested on suspicion of having committed the mur der, but a severe examination failed to connect him with it. Suspicion next fastened upon N. S. Ambler, the dead woman's divorced husband, but he has pretty successfully met it by proof that he was at another place at the time the murder was committed. One witness testifies to having seen a large, tall man waiting on a little bridge where the un fortunate womau was to pass, a short time before the murder was probably committed, and another testifies to hav ing seen her and a large, tall man walk ing together shortly afterward; but there is no clew to show who this mysterious person was. The authorities are baffled. They have followed up every clew dis covered, but the tragedy remains as dark and mysterious as the murder of Mary Stannard, whose body was 1'ound in the same neighborhood five years age, or that of pretty Jennie Cramer, whose body was found in the water at Xew Haven two years 'iater. Convicted. -Thomas L. Shields who killed JV.mes G. Sitton, of Due West, Abbeville, in Mecklenburg coun ty, N.C .. has been convicted and sen tenced to be hanged. Shields was a Republican and ex Revenue officer and claimed that Sitton had ruined his sister., Sittou'8 friends denied this, and claimed that the story of seduction was concocted because he was a witness anainst Shields in a revenue case, and the latter desired to get rid of him. The jury apparently believed this from the evidence. A negro womr.n who was hung in Virginia last week for causing the mur der of her husband, indulged upon the gallows in the usual prattlo upon such occasions about "going home to glory." whereupon the Augusta Constitutionalist remarks: "The disgusting report of the hanging of a negro murderess in Virginia is another argument against public executions. The Christian religion is disgraced by such a travesty, aud evil minded persons are encouraged to "go to Jesus" via the scaffold. Let the mouths ofali such blaspheming wretches be shut." On the ground that consistency is a precious gem we recommend those lie publicau journals that :ire engaged in mouthing over the acquittal of the ex bandit, Frank James, by what they are pleased to call a "Democratic jury in a Democratic State." to read up the ac quittal of Dukes in Pennsylvania, Stokes in Xew 1'ork, the Republican acquittal of the horror-makers of Tweksbury. and a few more scores of similar "judicial" results in the cultured precincts where Republicans rule. A fearful gale lately prevailed over Lake Michigan. The most ancient mar iners report that it surpassed anything within their knowledge. Fishermen's houses have been swept away bv the waves and dashed over the breakwater. Much apprehension is entertained for the safety of crafts. Nearly 1000 feet of the Chicago and Northeastern Rail road have been washed out, causing a freight blockado. Other damage is re ported and great anxiety is ielt by those living within the sweep of the.storm, ? sixteen year old Brooklyn .wife wants a divorce from her seventeen year old < husband, and the latter has no ob jection, because, every time he gets a cent's worth of molasses candy she begs him for half.
