To my Fdlow CUItuiwt: I see tn this work’s Issue of the pa pers a communkatloo affoed J. D. Gofoiaoit. I can't ray whether or not ha wrote It, but ft is ao alpoed In the papers. 1 am at a loss to know what be means, or to what he alludes, when he talks about unscrupulous criminals and already pronounced criminal ac cusers. I was not accusing Copeland, I was pronouncing upon what my opin ion was of the caeo before me, from > The udimimens election ofMdj. Me- Sweeny to the I’rchidcncy of the State 1’rcss Association is a high compliment worthily bestowed. He is the excellent editor of one of the best county pupers in the State and there arc higher honors in store for him> Heou'jht to be president of a family. Gen. Wm. Tecum sell Sherman said to u friend last week, “Gen. Hampton is unquestionably a truthful man.” Gcu. Hampton has persistently said that (jcn. Shcruian was responsible for the burn ing of Columbia. Out of bis own mouth Geu. Sherman hns convicted himself and the long vexed question is ut last right eously answered. Since the publication of the election of delegates to the summer meeting of the fctato Agihrultural Society by the Barn well A. and M. Society on saledny we Imvo been asked by several persons if there will be any County Fair, and ns others mny be cutieus to know we have no hesitation in snyiug ih^rc will be none. 1 hat s our opinion of what is or oughtto be the situation. If no Fair is held this fall the title of the Society to its grounds lapaes. A good many newspapers throughout the Stale think it premature to agitate at this time, or in the near future, the Democratic nominutious for next year. But can it bo stopped ? The work bus already begun. At Abbeville a party of gentlemen recently met and made up a slate which was published before they in tended It to be done, and perhaps other wlutcs have been jnadc and are yet bid den while wire pulling goes on ail the same. The reason assigned Mint no mnn in the State can stand fire a year with out falling U no reason at all. If the can didates (ain’t stand it th? people mu. Snap judgment nominations are often unpopular from the very fact of their euddenouas. This country belongs to single blush people and they want to know all about “ ~ 1 ' the men set to rule over them. We would like to see the ball started for the one reason, if no other, of giving tlioso clamorous for a new deal ample time to huut up a man who will make us good a Comptroller General as Col. W. K, Sto- hey. In our opinion they can’t fiud him. The Kllcntou correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier requests Tine Pkopl* to copy from the News and Courier of Ftiday his account of the shooting scrape that oocurml ia Three Mile township in March between Arthur Kearte and the poeao of Trial Justice Boyntou, which resulted in the death of Bose Copeland. The letter is prettily written and we would cbocrfully comply with his request but for the fact that a full statement of the tacts was published in Til* Pkopi-k shortly aflcr their occurrence and it ia not proper or necessary to repeat an oft told tale. The evident purpose of the Ellenton correspondent of the News and Courier is to impress the undeniable fact that Arthur Keane, the murderer, is (Mill in the vicinage and that uo subse quent effort has been made to arrest him. It is not within our knowledge why Trial Justice Boynton has remained In active, but wo presume that he is exer cising, in his judgment a wise discretion that will secure the capture of the crim inal better »han an attempt to hunt him down with a brass band and a detach, went of militia. , J he people of the county hsvc so far manifested no discontent with Justice Boynton’s conduct in the matter and they are certainly better judges of the man and his measures than are occa sional visitors. So far be has not called upoa the Sheriff fur help. Should he do no we feel sure that Uapt. People , will gather Kearee in if it takes all summer aud every man io the lower regiment, and iu all that posse then will be uo sin gle character so turbulent as Thomas II. Hayne. Il kt safe to predict that Kearse will sot have ao tong a lease of uuapprehta- siva Hberty as Mr. Green of Aiken who, • ■beer seven yrars ago, found, what nor we to be, a safe city of refuge beyond tbantnow Sstanrah. ■' ’ ■ •“ 1 ■ v A - the evidence of men I knefw to be truthful and men that Copeland would oot dare to dispute the words of unless he did it tn such Innuendoes that geu- tleonen would not take notice of.— Copeland (to my certain knowledge) has had every opportunity of bringing tlds&ff.ir of his to a personal Issuu and has not been the man to do it— Why does he not, instead of Indulging in such language that he could easily say, “I didn’t mean you, and I didn’t mean you,” and thus escape chaotlse- meot, which would be ffure and cer tain Were he to accuse either of the gentlemen who jvere wltnebacs before me iu his case or connected therewith. I did uot tn my communication eay any thing as to the facts before me ugnlnst Copeland. 1 did uot say any thing about reliable gentlemen telling me that Copeland’s mortgage on that horse was paid and Copeland knew It well. I did not say any thing about seeing the note which the mortgage waS eaid to have been given to secure marked paid by draft on F. W. Fairy aud signed J, D. Copeland. I did not any any thing about Falrey’s going to Bamberg to tentlfy to such before the board of arbitrators assembled to ad just the affair. I did not say any thing about Copeland being the party refus ing to proceed that day with the atbl- tratlou after the parties and all their witnesses, Including F. W. Fatry, E-q., veer# there uncJeFsppoTntrnent. TdltT' not say any thing about Bice claiming to act for Copeland, taking a negro In the buggy and going up at the buck of the lot of “the Radical negro,” through the hushes' and taking out the horse, when there was a plain public load leading up lu front. I did not allude to all these tilings, because Copeland had risen in* the world, had worked hard in life and had brought himself up so as to marry into a highly respec table family, for whom I have the very highest regard, and on such account, If no other, I did not wish to say any thing about him to Injure him. I did not care to allude to other ttansactioos In the cotton business that were any thing but what they ought to have been. I hud no unkind feeling for Copvlaud but was sotry for him. Now be comes out. sttlkes and runs ; says : “I cannot afford, and neither will I condescend, to enter a newspaper war fare with adversuriee whom the sever est stigmas and public denunciations of a people have fulled even to produce upon the faco.’* L“t him blush who steals ; let him blush who lies ; let him blush who defrauds his fellow man, but never let him blush who happens to have a halfway pre- sentmeut made against him by a one sided grand Jury, backed by men, knowing or caring not what they say. Copelautl says *. ”1 took him from the stable of a Radical negro of the deep est d3'e.” Is this an excuse? Is this an admission thot he took him ? (allud- lug to the horse. If he took him tight- fully, then all right; but tf wrongfully, tbeu this subterfuge I don’t think will answer In these days. Copeland says for the oecond time 1 have prostituted public office. This I declare to you, ray fellow-cltiaens, false and cowardly; aud to you, Mr. Copeland, I live near Huntex’s Chapel, In this county, about twelve railes from Bamberg, and am generally at home. Further, twice It has been attempted by men not hav ing the fear of God before their eyee, to Injure me in official position, and just so often has the county con demned them, To you, ray fellow-citizens, alone I am called upon to anewer for my offi cial conduct, and I think I have done so. To you, Mr. Copeland, I am ready at all times to answer for my personal conduct, and for what I say. And to you I further say, ’’Lay on Macduff,” let’s see who will cry, "Hold enough.” J. B.

The ludiauapoiis Journ;-.!, however, casta precedents to the winds, and intimates that the alarming mortality of infants between one and two years old ia caused by injudicious parents, who allow them to chew and swallow whatever kinds of food may lave been prepared for adults. The Journal is right, too. Dishes which upset the rdult digestion, as do many which uru served in summer, are not fit for children, and the little innocents should bo protected from them.

COMPA'V c mw» Alto THJt OOOl OOfeU. I am very busy now. Literature- iu at n discount iu these parts. The quit ua last week and company to morrow—city company hiiil a chunk or a darkey boy hired all the year and he was right handy. He got up the stove wood nod brought the water and milked the cows and ao forth ; but all of a sudden his daddy 'scut utter tilin’ to hoe cotton and be l*ft on ten minutes’ notice. Tbene darkles are right ctever itnd goudua- tured, but they h»ve no more idea of a contract than a hog. Tttey will break It whenever it suits them. They will quit you without warning and not feel rauau about it a bit. Tne grsHs got ahead of Mr. Jordan Frauklln, and hs just sends word to our chunk E l- ward Fruukllu, to come home. When I remonstrate, and remind him of tils contract, he says he is just obleeged to have him, and will send him back ‘j-s as soon as he is done with him.’ 'J. Imt’s all, aud so Ned cuts out without ceu-muny. We aio doing our own nig gering now, mid it keeps mo busy. Our big boy has got a baseball nose, aud It was getting well. It was toner swalgiug down until yesterday, when a bto stung him on it, in the peach or chard, aud now it U bigger Ulan ever. The orchard is full of bees, for the peaches are ripe, aud the storm blew lots of them on the gtound, aud Carl got st uug ou (he foot, aud so the more woik f ills upon lue. We cut down a dying readoak lu the grove aud sawed il up with the cross cut for stove wood ahd my folks say It wont burn good, and we had to woik up a dead syca more and tho sun was powerful hot and come down with power on my un suspecting back, iforgot that I had on a locust buck shirt, for I never wear one if I cau Hud any other iu the drawer, and now them is a blistered streak (unuiug down my spine, and I am sorter used up generally. But there is no chance to stop now, for company Is coming. This J -lly nu-i ness has got to proceed 1 have to gather apples, and plums, and biack- berrh s to make jeily, aud gel wood to keep up the tire to make jelly and Jsm, and gather peaches to put up lu the fruit juts, and thing Water to wash up the piuzzi floors, aud ever and anon It rrruoTe peaches, antttnore apples, or more water or more wood, and they want thtee spilug chickens caught, aud the old Peahen, with her line young ones, has stiayed s ff, and I must bunt them up. They all worked hard yesterday—mighty hard, aud I knew they would oversleep themselves aud so I got breakfast this motniug, aud a light good one, I have long en joyed a reputation in my lamlly for making biscuit, and IheV do praise my blacult rapturously. Mrs. Aip fre quently saje when she sits down to the table, I wish I bad some of your pa’s biscuit this morning. Itls a dangerous thing for a man to know how to cook. I learned how to co<«k In the army and Mrs. Ahp nays that Is ibu only good thing that ever came out of tho old war. I wish I hadeut have learned or had kept It a secret, one or the other, rtho euye that I can make up the best bed In tho world. The only trouble 1 Lave about the beds is in getting her and the children out of them, for they do love to sleep In tho morning. If I had been a datkey in the old slavery times, my wife sajs sho would have given mot e money for me than any ten she eVt r saw, for Bhc could have con trolled mo tbeu. But I don’t see any difference so far ns the controlling is concerned, and she pot me far nothing. More water they say. 1 wonder what upon earth they do with so much wa ter. The buys gone to town after sup plies, fruit Jars aud Jelly tumblers,aud sugar, and Horsford’s powders, aud a new broom, and I don’t know whatall, and how they keep me trotting. 1 wish there wasn’t any town nor any sup plies. Mau that Is bold of otic woman and tied to another Is of few day* and full of trouble. But it might havohutn wont: a heap worse, for he might have been bom a woman and been tied to a man. That is the most perilous condition In all nature. Nevertheless ft has to be done, trouble or no trouble, and I am Content And now they want some potatoes dug and some beans picked, and there arc more etlcumbets ou the viuea ready for pickling. There old bodies of ours are a sight of trouble. I wonder If they have uo gar - Jena uor orchards in tho n< xt world ? I am not sure about that, for there is a heap of scripture that tel e about trees aud cities aud streets au 1 hor ses, and so forth. I reckon wo will have all the good and none of the bad —no rott> u peaches nor bee slings— no stove wood to get—no water to tote up n hill, no chickens to catch. Well, I don’t mind catching the chickens for the dog does that and never IT lifts them, but I do despise to “Ux era.” If ttiere U anything better than old fash ioned fried chicken I don’t know It, hut l want somebody else to "fix em.”— Everything that is good has a had side about it. If I was to Hud a rich gold mine ou my branch I know it would bring some trouble, but still I would risk It Getting itch‘is like getting married. Everybody Is willing to risk It. Calling me again—want to know if I sent for s^H. Of course I didn’t,— Why should I know the salt was out.
