My informant stated that there was 110 smoke or heat in the vicinity, and he explains the phenomenon as above stated, which is a probable solution of the mystery. Personal.?Messrs. "W. D.

On the adjoining plantation the stones reached the size of a turkey egg, while the storm seems to have been exceptionally heavy. In some places the hiul is said to have been nearly a foot deep. We have had no accounts of the storm in other portions of the county. In "Wiunsboro tne ram was neavy, Dar tue lau or nan was inconsiderable.

Joynes, of the South Carolina College, in an interesting article to the educational monthly, published at this place, says: uThe Up-Country Teacher has given me great pleasure. Its coming is opportune. Just as the Southern Educational Monthly dies, the Up-Country Teacher is bora. So the good work goes on, though under a new name and ?rom a new centre. \ * t Men die, institutions change, but ideas live and the work of education must *go on forever5. This State needs an organ of its educational thought and progress. Let me welcome and encourage yon to attempt this high office. Why not the South Carolina Teacher instead of the JTp-Country Teacher? I recognize the law of nature, that the streams that flow from the up-country may and do fertilize the lowlands; but the lowlands are always willing to acknowledge the debt. I do not say that Winnsboro is not big enough to assert itself as the educational capital of the State, but'Charleston, Columbia and the small towns may not be ready to own the soft impeaabment. Yet all will help pull your car of progress, if you will only give them a place in the picture. Therefore let U9 have no longer the Up-Country Ttacher, but the South Carolina Teacher, and let the whole State combine to make your little paper so bravely and so well began a worthy organ in South Carolina." These words of encouragement and cheer will no doubt be of service to the enterprisiug editors, and perhaps the suggestion of Professor Joynes as to changing the name to the South Carolina Teachei- will be adopted in the early future.- The tip-Country Teacher merits the liberal patronage of the friends of education throughout the State. Nothing in It. 1 Some weeks since we took occasion to mention the needy condition of Mrs Sloan a widow lady residing in this place. The local notice read as follows: . . Miss McDowell, whose death is mentioned elsewhere in these columns, left is her only near relative a Mrs. Sloan, x sister, who now lives in this placgj* ilone and almost destitute. Mr^?&i6an s a widow lad\^vd^tta^td^TOdren.or old a^^^yfeeble, and is altogether a worthy subject a lib'oral mid nhflrif-v "PnvtirMi larly does she merit the benevolence or assistance of the gpod people of Winnsboro, when it is remembered that she lost her six and only boys in the ConJederate army during the late war. She has given so much for the country ?will the country give nothing in return? The Abbeville Pi'ess and Banner imagines from the above "Winnsboro's Shame and South Carolina's Ingratitude," and under that caption delivers another harangue on its'hobby, "Negro Education.". Among other things it says: : . The above paragraph tells the whole story of Confederate ingratitude to her soldiers, while it kindly throws the veil over oar excessive* love for the negro, which is expressed by the lavish expenditure which we make tor the education of his children. Winnsboro has contributed, perhaps-, thousands of dollars for negro education, while that community neglects a poor old woman who did more for her country than did the most famous Spartan mother. schools and she' levies for educational pu^fesgs^ but she lets an old woman, the mother of six Confederate soldiers, suffer for the common necessities of life. But no matter for-that, the uesteemed"negro must be educated. We must levy an enormous tat. on the little property of Confederate soldiers to educate- negroes, and then distin-. guished Southern gentiemeu must volunteer to go to Washington, hat in hand, and beg for more aid in the noble work. .; * ?. * ' The Confederate soldier is indeed an orphan when his own State and his own former comrades in arms cast him aside to starve in order that the esteemed negro may be educated. Education is more important to the. negro than is bread to the Confederate soldier. While Winnsboro boasts of her schools, and while communities in other sections point to her example with pride, Northern Republicans, Southern traitors and infamous rene- j gituo iiiav ax ways ucpcuu u^iuu ww. loads of educated negroes from Fairfield to respond to their call for witnesses in any effort lo send South Car- . olina gentlemen to the Albany penitentiary for no groater offence than that of* voting for Hugh S. Thompson for Governor of the State. ?i This condition of aifkirs must indeed be gratifying newsYo the most devout negro worshipper of the North. The fact that a Confederate soldier's home in Winnsboro may be sold for negro education must be all that the fondest negro lover could desire. Just what the { subject of "negro education" or : "the enormous tax which Winnsboro levies for school purposes" has lo do with Mrs. Sloan's nf.n/Ufmn wo nnoVilcv' +r? dirino Such vaporings are, utterly .foreign and irrelevant to the subject under discnssion, and as such are unworthy of comment at,this time and under the circumstances of this case. Suffice it to say, however, that what Winnsboro.. has done- and is now doing for the educational advancement of this and other communities is the source of a jnst and honorable pride,-And -the strictures of our Abbeville contempo- ? rary pass-by us "as the idle wind which we respect not.'? [ By the local in question^ we simply, mpnnf in coll nnhlii> in thp fact that Mrs. Sloan, owing to her .enfeebled condition, was unable to provide for herself. By the death of her sister we stated that she was "left alone and almost destitute"?that she was "without children, old and very feeble and altogether a worthy subject of a liberal and Christian charity." It was not intended to create the impression that nothing had been and was being done for her; on the contrary, it was known to us that the Associate Reformed church, of which she is a member, was at that time rendering her pecuniary assistance, and that the county commissioners were contribut ing something towards her support. But in our judgment it was not esteemed a sufficient competence for the "Spartan mother^, and for that reason we made public mention of her condition, feeling confident that nothing further would be necessary. > Our people demand nothing more than to be informed who are the "worthy subjects of a liberal and Christian charity," and knowing the wives and mothers of our Confederate dead have never been nor will they ever be allowed to .suffer for food and raiment.' In the public announcement of the fact the object of The News and Hkrat.d was folly accomplished, and Mrs. Sloan will be liberally and kindly f cared for in the future. Where then 1 is "Winnsboro's shame' and South ' Carolina's ingratitude"? < ?Messrs. K. J. McCarlev & Co. are ' ( selling the celebrated Eclipse and At- ^ las Engines.

THOUGHTS FOR FAKMEB8. Messrs. Editors: Please allow me through, your columns to make a proposition to those of your readers who are directly interested in farming. A few words as a preamble. Farmers ne ft *?lftaa ?is> oe fVio mnaf practical of all men. Why so, I could never tell. Scarcely any operation on ( a farm could be dignified even by* the adjective, theoretical. ! Traditional and hereditary gues*"! J s work would be a better term to apply, rake, for instance, the application of jommercial manures. What approximation to any rule have we as to juantitv or quality? Out of the dim jast this tradiiion has come down to is. "Use about two hundred pounds jo the acre, regardless of quality; provided it comes out of a bag, about two lundred is the right amount." How does any one know that half hat quantity, or double it, or treble it vould not be more profitable? Someimes it appears to me we regard juano as a sort of ornament to be in-1 lnlged in only to the extent of three 'oar dollars' worth to the homely acre. iVTiy, the matter is still one of such aysterv that 1 frequently hear formers )f intelligence (not intelligent farmers) ixpress doubts as to the economy of ising it at all. Next, iu regard to our ploughing? Jie modern mule and the ancient yjacan communicating across the dark iges, fitly symbolized by our plough, >y means of the Plough-Line .Telegraph. We know this trio ought to be startid in the spring and kept going until ibout August. Cuffy and the mule de:ide,the rest by telegram. In hunIreds of other matters are we groping n the dark. In the hope of. getting ome light, I humbly, Dut earnestly, ;uggest the following plan: That we organize informally a local issociation or club, composed of farmirs'who can conveniently attend a 'Qnfwil rrofhnvlnrr at ctatinl intervals. >VUUMb gUWiVHUg *?V UWMVW* *M?v? ? V?-lLot the main object of this associaion be a series of organized and sysematic experimentssufficient induce*, nents being held ont to make them nteresting, and such restrictions im>osed as to make them reliable. I am aware that gr ',~pcciisfiT liiHcuIties_|3eseU^fS^ricQlturaI expeisas&tt&'Ey reason of the multiplicity of conditions which face him; but all the more necessary is it to multiply the experiments until the conditions are so eliminated that nature is forced to auswer us plainly "yes" or "no." I respectfully suggest to my neighboring farmers that the best and cheapest wav. and I mierht sav the onlv practical way, to soexperi'ment, is ib organize for that object, and make a diyinon of the labor. An interest wouid be excited and an incentive evoked which would otherwise lie dormant. . Such associations or clnbs are by no means novel. Wherever agriculture has advanced to anything like a science they have contributed greatly. England has numbers of them, and of such acknowledged worth are their proceedings that they are regularly published. Let us try one, and if we fail we will have lost nothing.

"Surely we cannot,' and for myself I don't find fault with that necessity provided the advance in life is not attended with calamity or suffering:, for I have had my share of that Not long since my health j utterly broke down. My system was full I of malaria. My digestion became thoroughly disordered and my nerves were in a wretched state. I was languid, ate little and that without enjoying it, and had no strength or ambition to perform even my light household duties. Medical treatment failed to reach the seat of the trouble. The disease?which seemed to be weakness of all the vital organs?progressed until I had several attacks which my physicians pronounced to be acute congestion of the 1 stomach. The last of these was a desper- 1 ate struggle and I was given up to die. As. the crisisnad partially passed, my husband heard of the merits or PARKER'S TONIC as an invigorant in just such cases as mine. I took it and felt itg good effects at once. It appeared to pervade my body, as though the blessing of new life had come to me. Taking no otfrer medicine I continued to improve; and am now in better health than I have been for a long time."
