Where the slope Is very uniform, and there are no sudden abrupt changes— no ridges anb hollows starting on the general slope and running down it. the above rule is a good one. But if tnere are sudden changes iu the slope the former must exercise his judgment about the matter. Sometimes it will be found necessary to run only a few rows by one line of level, and ncarlv all by the other. A practiced eye will guide pretty correctly. Lines ofievel run in stubule land may be left undis turbed; the weeds etc., on them will answer as break-waters and filters. Or, if preferred, they may be sown in small grain or grass. Where tbe lines arc run iu plowed land the strips had better be sown at once in grain, to furnish filters for the winter and spring rains. The old style of grabbing sprouts, viz: cutting them off just below the surface of the ground never kills them Tbe work lias to be repealed year after year, and finally quite a big root is de veloped aitbougb the top may be small. Consider the amount of work dona in digging sprouts in above manner for tenor fifteen years, and ask yourself if it would not save labor to div them up ten or twelve inches deep at once and effectually kill them. This is the con clusion we have reached after many years trial of the deep sprouting. It is the only effective method we have ever seen of killing persimmon, sassafras, sweetgum and other troublesome [ ilants. It succeeds best if the work s done from the middle of August to the middle of September, but generally proves effective if done in fall or win ter. Moreover, when the work is thus done, these underground stumps which breaks plows and shock the shoulders of plow animals and cause loss of lime by stoppage of plow, are permauGiitlr removed. Tbe same ecohomy of time and labor results from tbe removal of rocks which stop tbe plow and also of smaller onss which cause mi-licks of the hoc and blunting of its edge. Make tbe calcu lation: suppose a band has to make two licks iu the rocks where be would make only one in smooth land; be could hoe twice ns mnch in the latter as he could iu the former. Run this through several years and see if the labor of removing rocks would not be less tbau that of making double licks witli the boe year after year. As a rule little attention is paid and little judgmcutdisplavcd in the location of farm roads> and yet, when the large amount of hauling which is done ovor them and tbe saving of lime iu having them run so as to be convenient to the fields from which produce has to be buuicd, it becomes s matter of very great importance. The barn is the starting point for the road or roads which may be deemed necessary. The localities from which tiro-wood and the bulk of farm produce is to Ira brought, arc the objective poius. The first thing to be studied is bow these points may be readied most directly aud with the slightest grades. On hilly forms the grades are all important; on# steep place in a road mav spoil it; for the steepest grade determine the sixe of the load which can be hauled over it, just as the weakest link decides the strength of achain. It mav be necessary to wind a road around bills, and thns make it longer, to secure easy grades, but even iu such cases there may be no loss. Suppose on a road of easy grade an ordinary farm team cau pull|u load of 1,500 pounds, but on a more direct road with steep grade can Fpull 1,200 only; four loads on the first would be equal to five on the second, and quite as much or more work might be done in a day on the long as on the short road. It is impor tant, however, to have roads as short as is consistent with moderate grades, because half the time the teams are pulling empty wagons. Mak the road beds wide. If it is necessary to place ditches on each side of them io control water, there is a tendency for tha ditches to widen and encroach on the road beds and if not wide they may become inconveniently narrow. If roads have to cross bottom lands lo cate them, other things being equal, so that they may cross the bottoms at a point where they arc narrow. Two advantages will result: less of valua ble land will be taken up by the road and less of soft, yieldinr earth will make part of the road-bed. if rocks are convenient, it will pay to Me- Adamize a road whore it crosses a bot tom. Sufficient shelter, not ouljr fur all the stock but for all the vehicles apd implements on tiic tann is a matter bv no means as well appreciated as ft should be. Vehicles and implements not only last longer when under shel ter but having a place for them culti vates the habit ofhaviug them iu place. How much time is often lost iu gather ing up plows, harrows, etc., which have been left here and there, when a new job fc to be started? As stated in a former article, shelters need not be expensive; they can be erected iu the main with home materials, and with a little attention to location and looks, may be made tasty and neat. Steep roofo will last longer than those which are flat, and though they may cost a little more, will more than compensate by the increased loft room they furnish. Lest but not least, we urge that at this, the most appropriate seaaon of the year, shade and ornamental trees be Mtoat wherever they will beautify or m^er the home more comfortable, also an abundance of fruit trees to sup ply the family successively aud oon- tlaaoaelv with good fruit.

Bethea, ofParks- Tiil, 8. C., a email town on the Aagas- la A Knoxville Railroad, about S4 miles from Aagnsta, was iu the. city tor the purpose of 'precariug a eofln for a man that bad been killed by a party of negroes who were defying tbe authorities of the nlam. He re ports the situation as alarming, and, in addition to telegraphing the (Toveru- or of South Carolina the condition Of things, lie was trying to get acompany of men from tltis place to return with him. Mr. Betlica says for some time past the negroes in that section have been very offensive in their manners. They carry pistols, aud lose no opportunity to insult unarmed white men. That tliev plant themselves in the middle of tbe sfdewalks and make the white fnen walk around them, and are openly de fiant to tbe authority of the officers. On l*Mt Sunday morning the white peo ple had a church dedication at Parks- viile, and during tbe services tbe ne- groos congregated at tbe depot, some twenty yards distance, and began fir ing pistols. Owing to the existing feeling, this frightened tbe ladies in tbe congregation who expected a riot, and the services were temporarily inter rupted and great uneasiness was felt. Several men trom tbe congregation went down to the depot to talk with the negroes and secure quiet; but they refused to put up their pistols aud were quite defiant in their manner and language. On Tuesday warrants were sworn out for tbe arrest of several of the ringleaders in Sunday’s disturbauca and early vesterday morning the con stable and a posse of ssverai men started out to arrest them. About 6 o’clock they reached the house of one of the meu, several miles distant from Parksvillc, but as they advanced to ward it a volley was fired by men who were in nmbudh, and James Blackwell, one of their numtrar, tell mortally wounded. Seeing that it was impossi ble for their small body to storm a barricaded house, that probably con tained two or three times their num ber of armed negroes, the Ijttle party retreated, and the rioters are still at large and defying the authorities. The little town of Parksvillc is in a state of excitement, and outrages of anv kind are looked for, as negroes from all tbe neighboring sections are collecting there. The leading spirits in the resurrec tion, and the parties for whom war rants were sworn out, were Jake Gil christ, Thomas White and Ambrose White. Yesterday morning Trial Justice Parks issued warrants for several negroes for carrying concealed weap ons. The conatablo was unable to make the arrest, and forthwith sum moned a |>oss6 and proceeded to the place where the negroes were. Upon arriving on the grounds the posse found a large crowd of negroes forti fied iu a log house, armed with dou ble-barrel suot-guns aud rifles. When the negroes saw the constable and posse they tired upon them, mortally wounding James Blackwell, his whole face aud head being literally riddled with buckshot. He is now just alive, and will not live till morning. Great excitement prevails, as the negroes have made this morning severe threats. After Blackwell was shot down the crowd fired, and another crowd of ne groes came up armed as the others. These last were arrested by the posse and are now in the custody of the con stable, and will Ira scut to jail to-day. The trial justice has issued warrants for the parties that tired upon Black- well and the posse. The posse has just left and will proceed to Mr. L. T Har mon’s plantation, where a large crowd of negroes have assembled to resist arrest. Some trouble is expected and perhaps more bloodshed. Mr. Black- well is a peaceful, law-abiding citizen and will leave a widowed inotner and sister entirely dependent upon him for a support. iThe community feels very greatly outraged. Lost evening two well armed citizens of Parksvillc arrived in Augusta ou the Augusta St Knoxville Railroad train. They are looking for the lead ers of the riot who, they think, have made their way toward Augusta. They proceeded to tbe court-house and gave the names and description of lira parties to Lieut. Twigs,foil duty there as otficer of the night. They reported to the Chronicle everything quiet when- tbe Augusta St Knoxville train passed at half-past five o’clock yester day afternoon. They are lokking for the captain of the company which fired upon the posse. They think'the whole trouble was arranged by the negroes, but do not believe that the afloir originated iu political complica tion*. Acoi'sta, October 30.—Th« Augus ta and Knoxville Railroad tram has just oomo in. Wheu it pa«aed Par- kersville this morning there was much excitement, but no danger of a colli sion between the blacks ami whites. About 150 white meu were under arms. No negroes could be seen. Four negroes, supposed to be concern ed iu tbe riot, had been arrested and were in irons. Tbe ringleader in the affair is still at large, Mid is supposed to be biding in the swfamp. Two par ties of men, one beaded by Jotm But ler and thfe other by Press Blackwell, are scouring the country for him. James Blackwell is not dead, as was at first reported, but is mortally wounded. The posse which started out yesterday to arrest the negroes who had disturbed the church meeting on Sunday consisted of six or seven. A negro woman, who saw thorn start and knew their purpose, took a short cut and reached the rioters before they did, informing them that Uie poasis was coming. Tbe negroes laid iu ambush ami when the posse approach ed fired a volley without warning, mortally wounding Jaines Blackwell. The posse returned the fire and the negroes fled. ft was supposed that the rioters would get reinforcement* and return, but there have been no •neb manifes tations. Tbe utmost excitement pre vails in Uie place. There is nothing political about tbe atfeir. Augusta, October 30.—Evening.-- There are no new development* to night about the Parks viile affair.

Tha Augusta police are looking for the two supposed to bo hero. It ?s re ported that lira negroes between Au- gasta ami Edgefield are disposed to be troublesome. . A white ma:i on a wagon coming to this city was stopped bv a party of them to-day and ordered to go back home. He. was compelled to turn back. OfeLUMBiA, October 31.—Governor Thompson received at 2 o’clock to-day a dispatch from Mr. B. W.

[SptHal to the A*w* uml Courier ] Gkkenvillk, October 23.—The de bate ou the question of tbe adoption of the majority or minority report of the board of directors ot the Columbia Theological Seminary, iu tbe matter of Dr. Woodrow'« theory of evolution, was closed here this evening at it o’clock. Prof. Woodrhw’s argument occupied seven and one-half hours iu delivery. Alter this address a vote was taken on the adoption of the majority report of the board, which wa* lost by a vote of 52 to 43. Tbe majority report was then taken up, and the vote for its adoption resulted, yeas 44, nays 52. Heveral papers were then offered, but the Synod took u recess till 8“ o’clock. On rqassembllng at that hour J. S. Stephaus presented the following sub stitute for the previous re|M>rt: Inasmuch as Dr. Woodrow main tains that lie doss not teach the evolu tion hvpothcsis as set forth by him in his address in the sense of inculcn- tory, and as lie does not set it forth as a demonstrated truth — Resoled, By this Synod that with this limitation as set forth by him, they do not see that he transcends the duties of his chair. The Rev. W. T. Thompson, of Charleston, offered the following as a substitute: Resolved, That in the judgment of this Synod the teaching of evolution in the Theological Seminary at Columbia, except in a purely expository mam cr, with uo intention of inculcating its truth, is hereby disapproved. The passage of this resolution, which virtually settled the question officially, was carried by a vote of 50 to 45. loipartaat to Pareata and OtMern-- The Orphans' Home. We have bad a groat improvement in the health of our children by tbe use of Swift’s Specific. We had among the children some who bad scrofula— notably one case in which in was UNMISTAKABLY IHCKEDITAKT. We got some of Swift’s Specific and gave iL to this case, and iu a short while it was cured sound aud well. It was us bad a case, I think, as 1 ever saw, and bad been under excellent physicians*with no permauent relief. We have been giving it to all the chil dren as a health tonic. We have four children and one seamstress, who for years have suffered intensely every spring with erysqielas, and though they had been taking Swift’s Specific only in small doses as a health tonic, they all, without exception, passed through this spring without a touch of the complaint. A young lady of the institution, who has been witli us for years, has been troubled with a most aggravated rash ever since she was a child. She tried all the known remedies that arc pre scribed for it with no benefit; but she has been cured by taking Swift’s Spe cific, and has had no return of the trouble. It is such an excellent tonic, and keeps the blood so pore, that tbe sys tem is less liable to contract disease. All of the teachers and children who are old enough to know, agree with me in believing it is the greatest medi cine known. My faith iu it is un bounded, and land my assistants take great pleasure in recommending it to every one. I can at all times be found at the Home, and will take pleasure iu seeing or corresponding with any who is interested in the remedy. Rev. L. B. Paine, Orphans’ Home, Macon, Ga.

[Special Dispatch to the Sunday News.] Cincinnati, November 1,—A sensa tion was created here to-day by tbe publication in the Enquirer of the names of four hundred ot tbe men who were armed and gerved as depaty United States marshals on election day. The marshal has steadily refused to furnish a list of his deputies for pub lication. The list printed to-day was obtained from oilier sources, but is reliable. Of the four hundred ap- S ointments, so far discovered, not a oceu are respectable citizens, find tbe rest are well known criminals ranging from the convicted murderer to the sneak thief. This extract is taken at random from the list. James C. Harrison, Lexington, Ky., forger, thief, counterfeiter and assas sin. Peter Dolan, ninth ward, notorious thief and workhouse rat. Released from work the day previous to the election to be made a ueputy marshal. John Gleason, murderer, nineteenth ward; tried to add another victim to his list by shooting Pat Moran on elec tion day. John J. Kelly, eiglneenth ward, now under indictment fur soliciting a bribe and shooting with intent to kill. Bill Copeland, colored, government gauger, keeper of a notorious negro dive and “crap” house on sixtieth street, eighteenth ward, involved in the killing of Al. Russel. Mark Langdon, renegade Democrat, recently dismissed from the police force in disgrace. Mike Arnold, el-penitentiary con vict and murderer, lias shot fully fif teen men; was sentenced to the peni tentiary for twenty years for murder. Abe Rhynock, of Owen county, Kentucky, known as “Fagin, the Jew,” bunko stecrer. Hen. Rhynock, brother to “Fagin,” bunko stecrer; also from Owen county. Henry Wcstphal, not a citizen of this county, yet voted twice in the ninth ward; now in the workhouse. Clint Duchemin, -would-be assassin, now under bond for shooting to kill.

There were fifteen hundred deputies appointed for duty at the polls, and these arc samples ot the lot. All were armed with brutish bull-dog pistols. The men who managed this villany in Cincinnati are now in Indiana arrang ing to carry out the same scheme there. It was developed here to-day that a few days before these appointments were made the United States marshal was closeted at the Burnett House with Blaine, Senator Plumb of Kansas, ex- Governor Foster and several local Re publican |>oliliciaus. BLOODSHED IN LOUISIANA. Whit* Men Shot Down by a Mob of Ne- froeft-Th* RadlmU Attempting to Repeat the Scenes of 1876 New Orleans, November 1.—A dis patch from New Iberia to the I’irny- une says at a meeting at Loravillo to day some negroes got into a difficulty. Joe Gilfaux attempted to quiet them, when he was fired upon by a negro, the ball penetrating his hat. lie re turned the fire, but without any effect. By tliis lime there was a general resort to firearms, and a general fusilade commenced. Gilfaux was the first to fall, shot dead, lie was one of the best citizens and was a Democrat. The sheriff has been brought in here wounded, but not dangerously. The persons who were brought here say tiiatCapt.R. Bell, a Democrat, was also shot dead, and that Abner Bout- ler, a colored politician, and two other negroes were killed. Jules Mestcve and Judge Fonliciicn arc reported among the wounded. A large num ber of men arc under arms at Lora- ville, and the excitement is at fever heat. The particulars arc difficult to obtain. The excitement here is very great. Squads of armed men have left for the scene of the conflict. The town is picketed, and will be patrolled to night. A HEAVY DEFALCATION. Tl>« President ot an Auffiiet* Colton Facto rjr a Detanlter In a Large Auionnt. Augusta, Ga., October 29.—For several days past there have been rumors afloat of a heavy defalcation on the part of Geo. S. Jackson, presi dent of the Enterprise cotton factory, and a committee was appointed to in vestigate the books of the company. Jackson confesses to o defalcation, but cannot give the amount. He claims all responsibility for the deficit. Enough is already-known from the investigat ing committee, however, to state that the defalcation is over ffin,000, and may reach $140,000. The money, it is stated, was lost in various operations. Notwithstanding the defalcation the company is reported to be solvent and will continue to run until the stock holders’ meeting on November 8. The matter creates general surprise, as Jackson has been one of the most prominent and public-spirited citizens. It is said it will be several days be fore the full amount of defalcation is known. The loss in running the En terprise mill am] the defalcation will together amount to $180,000. These losses will make the mill stand $1,000,- 000, It is capitalized at $500,0(K) in stock and first mortgage bonds to the amount of $250,000. The mill cost when finished over $800,000. The developments have created a sensation. Unrequited Lots. Dover, N.
