Elkin Is about to inherit a considerable fortune. Some of his relatives have died in Texas without heirs except himself. ?Every day or so somebody, who has been here before, tells us of the improvements noticeable?new houses, improved stores and a general air of business since they have last been ?We* have the stock law in this county, but we hear many complaints from farmers about the depredations SB*" of cattle.

He has been I confined to his room for several days, suffering- from a severe cold. Mr. Wolfe has been a citizen of Wimisboro almost continuously for fifty years, and during all that time has never before lost a day from his business from sickness. We trust that his usual good health may attend him for many years to come. ?The policc of Lancaster must be among the "finest" as witness the following from the Lancaster Ledger: "Oui' chief of policc is no respecter of persons. He laid hands on the Inten dant of the town the past week, and also one of the town wardens. The former was fined $2 for losing his temper, and the latter for exercising ! his muscles in the heat of passion, S5. Our grave city fathers must learn to keep cool. They prefer paying fines, however, to swallOwinga'ouse." ?What has beeome of the heater for the fire engine ? The town is able to purchase one and it should be done. A few minutes play at the beginning of afire is worth a whole cistern of water after the fire has gotten well started. We hope this matter will receive'the early attention of Council. The town has enjoyed great immunity from fire, but it should be remembered that we have a few very dangerous risks, and a March wind would soon fan the flames beyond the control of our firemen. Let us have the heater. ?A farmer writing us from Buckhead about farmers selling their cotton seed says: 1 recently read an account ot farmers selling and hauling off their cotton seed.. I cannot conceive a greater blunder. It strikes me that they are blind to their own interest. There are uncertainties as to all commercial fertilizers, never any as to cotton seed, as all sensible planters know. Think of hauling of! fertilizers and hanling them back when the best is already at home. Cotton seed/ails nowhere." This is most pungent advice, especially iu view of the fact that our farmers have sold their cotton seed by the wholesale. ?Mr. R. B. Boylston has returned home after an extended visit to the PaciSc coast. He reports tb3t the far wesr, though a very interesting part of our country, cannot induce him to leave old South Carolina, fie failed to see any gold nuggets lying around loose, or lots that could be bought for ten dollars to-day and sold for a thousand to-morrow. Upon the whole we gather from him that the same amount ' of pluck and energy necessary to succeed there if expended here will afford just as much comfort and happiness as are realized by those who live beyond the .Rockies. Mr. Boylston says he saw General Bratton in San 1 Jb rancisco, witn ms son, jlm\ vv. v. Bratton, both of whom were looking well, and the General seemed to be 1 having a "good time all 'round." Before the Trial Justice.?On . Saturday the case of the State vs. Mamnn Brown, alias Charles Brown, for marrying a girl under 10 years of age, was heard before Trial Justice Catncart.

McMaster & Co. also have a new advertisement in which they show what they have in the hardware line and plantation supplies. J. Chestnut ReVill sells pianos and organs on the installment plan, and will sell you the cheapest and best machine on the market * A Strange Theft.?We have to chronicle one of the strangest thefts on record. When court opened on [ Monday the Sheriff, in arranging i things, looked for the Bible upon ; which witnesses and jurors hare been j sworn for over forty years- It could - nowhere be found. It is never taken Oaf of the Court Iloase, and its dh appearance can only be explained o the ground of theft. Who removed i is beyond conjecture. This Bib'e hai become hoary with age and greas; with haudling. If Bibles are s< scarce hereabouts as to cause som one to steal one, hadn't a Bibl ; society better be organized to disrtib ! ute the Gospel gratuitously? A nev one was purchased for the use of th court. Honors at tiie Soctii Cakolin, College.?The following young mei from Fairfield were either d is tin guished or proficient in the recen semi-annual examination at the Soutl Carolina College: Senior Class?proficient, i'. il. :uc Muster.

Cook, of Georgia, a daughter of the late Osmund Woodward, and a former resident here, accompanied by Master Sinclair Booton, is visiting relatives here. Capt. "W. M. Robinson, of Georgia, formerly of this county, is visiting relatives in the llalsellville neighborhood. J. C. James, Esq., who has been the efficient correspondent of this paper, from Ridgeway, will soon leave the county for his home in Cheraw. Mr. James has taught in the Ridgeway school for the past year with great efficiency. lie will in future devote himself to the law. We wish him success. Advice.?A correspondent writes us thatas the newspapers are constantly giving farmers advice, he would like to reciprocate. Retells us to send no one the paper without the cashadvice extremely good. All persona take notice to that effect. He also says it cannot be profitable to send out a paper (and make a living) for eight or ten years and then forgive the debt. Auvice No. 2 is exceedingly good. We hope this point will be noted, also, by those interested. "Say less about the high tariff and an overflowing surplus." Advice No. 3 we can't accept for the reason that the people should know exactly how a high tariff and an overflowing surplus works. We thus accept and reject some of our correspondent's advice. lie may do the same with" our farm advice. Meeting of the B. P. U.? The Bachelors held a meeting 011 Monday night. In the absence of the presi dent, T. W. Lauderdale, vice-president G. B. JicCauts officiated worthily.

Science of Advertising.?Success ful advertising requires brain and gooc judgment and strong common ?ense Thousands of dollars are thrown awa; every day in injudicious advertising So says one of our contemporaries and we are not disposed to contradic him. 2sot that it requires genins U advertise judiciously. On the con trary, the best equipment for an ad vertiser is to have something good t< advertise, and then to make it knowi in a plain unmistakable manner, am keep on making the public familia with it until success is assured. I does not matter whether he has good for sale, or work to perform, or a trad journal to circulate; the requisites fo successful advertising are the same and the first is to offer something gooi to your public. And the next is t keep on making it known until yo have secured the attention of yon public, and mind, never to drop o unless you want to be forgotten an have to do some of your work ove again. It is easier to undo than ove: do advertising-. Their Business Booming. Probably no one thin,; has caused sue a general revival of trade at Mcilaste Brice & Ketchin's store as their givir away to their customers of so mar free trial bottles of Dr. King's New Di covery for Consumption.

COTTOy. Ue Preparation of the Land to Plant and tho Cultivation of the Crop. Messrs. Editors: As my time and tention has been given mostly to the ,rm from January, 1817, to the preset day, 1 will give a concise stateicut of the course I have pursued lor ie preservation of the crop and the ;nd of cotton I prefer to plant after ii'nfnl!w fho violrl r\f rliflfArAnt ncls up to the war and since. I had >ticed the usual w:'V, if in cotton e preceding year, the stalks were nocked down, middles lapped up, alks ploughed out, planted and culivatcd in the way formerly stated, ccept sweeps were coming into use o plough the middles, and particuirly "the last ploughing, to "layby." Having noticed the washing off of e soil on our rolling lands, from not aving the rows properly laid off and om other causes, I decided the first ling to be done was to prepare for e preservation of the soil, conse-isntly I ha;l the hill lands ditched, hich was being practiced, rows laid " J -11 I 1 ou a level, n pracucame, aiiu an ashed place s filled with pine brush id ploughed over to make them level, be following year, in 'preparing to ant, the fields were examined and 1 washed places filled as above ated, rows oftentimes altered and I the ditches well cleaned out, and hen the crop was "laid by" carefully cammed and left with no obstruction i prevent the water of the winter tins from passing off, and this same [an is being practiced to the present ly. If in cotton the previous year, oin the 10th to the 20th of March a jep furrow was run in the old midle with a straight shovel 'plough pre ious to lapping, even if manure was Dt applied, and where the land reuired deep ploughing, to run a "ball uigue" plough after the straight lovel and lap ali up. As I generally >mmenced to plant up to 1861 on or ^out the first Monday in April, if the eather permitted, I had some of it eadedto start on, and then to keep aead of the planting ploughing out le middles thoroughly with good lough shovels so as to have good esh beds with the middles settled >mpactly enough to receive the plantig seed, and at times had to suspend le planting for a day or two to preare the beds, and I rccollect one or vo years of finishing beds and plautig on the same day. In adopting the above plan I often estroyed a "coat of young grass," ad had good, fresh beds that could e worked if dry weather ensued or -nflflrin<r rains on beds r>re iously prepared. Planting was to be uished, if practicable, 011 or before le 25th and by the first Monday in [ay to commence the cultivation of le crop, which was done with side, ;raight shovel and sweep, as thought est at the different ploughiugs, ai?d ic hoeing to come in rather intericdiate with the ploughs, and always laid by" with a straight shovel or ;vcep furrow in the middles, accordlg to the width of rows, so as to have flat bed to receive the rain and mid-le furrow tmiold the surplus water ) be taken up, unless on lands of a ipe-clay soil, when the rows were iven a slight descent to carry off surIus water. In conclusion, I will add that I have hvays been an advocate of cotton dws from 3 to 3? and 4 feet wide, ccording to fertility ot soil, ana paricnlarly at this day and time when ur lands arc worn and destitute of egetable matter and requires more ain to make a good crop, and when tie rows are narrow and ploughed iu ultivation and "laid by" with sweeps, s is mostly done "nowadays," and aany of tliem with a descent, and eing thrown np i.uo high beds, the rop is beneHiUu uut very little by the aius of August, as the first rain crusts he bed, and in subsequent ones the rater is thrown into the middles, and he descent in rows, with the fences low removed, carries it, iu many >laces, into the public road, and this s one cause of the roads being gulied up so badly iu those places. It is rmprallv thought the tap I'OOt giVGS leight to the stalk and the lateral ilie ruitj and with cotton "laid by," with ieds as above described, both tap aud atcral roots get very little rain water ifter they are settled, as I have more han once examined such beds after i good rain and dry dirt would be ound in one or two inches of the surace, it having been mostly thrown in he middles and carriefff out of the ield, unless the rows were on a level >r the soil sandy enough to absorb md take 'it up. I will in my next jommence to give the result of my rials of the different named cotton eed planted from careful observation. J. M. G. tic ? Am I to 2>o ?
