We are always glad to learn of snceessamong our farmers, whether white or colored. It has been a noteworthy fact that in the last two or three years i greater effort has been made to prclace at home the necessaries for home ;nd farm consumption.

Doubtless you have been expecting a few locals from me for some time, but as I noticed that some other good correspondent was kind enough to give you the Christmas news, I have deferred the pleasure of writing to you nntil now; and now it is my good pleasure to write you some new year happenings in our surrounding vicinity. Your last correspondent from this place seemed to be elated over the idea of writing you about the fine] and sumptuous turkey dinner he enjoyed, but I don't suppose be is much ahead of me, for I too helped to pull lhoie turkey bones, and in addition to this, I am glad to say that it. was my good pleasure and honor to be the guest at another sumptuous turkey supper given us, a few evening ago, by our hospitable friends Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Patric'*, in honor of their charming and very popular niece, Miss Mabel Smith, of Gastonia, N. C., aud Mr. Tom Patrick, of the Lone Star State. White Oak is about to get on a boom, as it is said we will soon have a telegraph office here. We are exceedingly glad to hear this, as a telegraph office is something we have been needing and wishing lor a long time. A young man, Mr. Goss, has taken charge of the ticket office, aud is just waiting for the erection of the telegraph office. Some of the darkies seem to be handling fire almost too recklessly around here. Last Sunday night, while most of the colored people were -4 - L ? U a ma/vha I'rrinrf An Mr T? A ai cuurcu, ? ucjjiv, imug vu Patrick's place, lost his house and contents by fire, one of his children being consumed in the flames. And to-day old Jack Caldwell lost his house by the same destructive power. Fire is very destructive when it gets started and something we would advise one and all to handle with much care. Miss J. R. Mitchell is off on a visit to Yorkville, and Miss M. M. Hamilton is visiting in Rock Hill. Dr. Patrick left last week for King's Mountain where he will exercise his muscle by pulling teeth.

Lyles sent f>-r us to come to his New Year's dinner, 'ju th.; Captain was loo feeble to go to Ibc tabic, with the usual turkey and other g-)od things found there on buch occasions. Tho Captain a:id his wife have both beon in bed nearly ever since; at least they have been confined to i he house. Mi.-s Augusta Sa'-ver was quite sick f.jr a few days after her return from Mrs. Thos. \V. Woodward's, but she is up and as busy as evi.-r, owing to the skill of the phys'c'as, Dr. Robert Coleman. Now I will tell a l.ttle about my own j sickness. I took sick in the evening of the 3rd inst.. kept in bed uutil the 12th, rede up to Buckhead to make rny | annual assessment to Mr. McDowell, | the (flicer then in charge. I have! spont nearly all the lime since in bed. I have not been idle, though, being very -well supplied with newspapers, Revised New Tcsiament, my old war companion ?the Universalist. Liturgy ?and the old Episcopal Praj er Bjok, picked up un the battle-field of the Wilderness. L would say that mv old friend and fellow-soldier, Mr. Jaraes Blain, has not forgotten these books, particularly the Liturgy. lie is a great lover of music and of singing.

The Legislature has met and I suppose we ought to have better times by reducing the increased expenses of running the government. A taxpayer could live on a great deal less than some of those highly paid officers are getting. 1 now quote from a clipping by Gov. Robinson, of New York: "Nine in ten of those educated in the so-called high schools at the public expense would far better pay their o.vn bills than to have them paid by the neoDle of the State. To levy taxes " I ir on the people for such purposes is a species of legalized robbery, and even tbe recipients come to know it." "The normal schools established in various par.'s of the State are, with two .or three exceptions, wholly useless." When the Governor of New York talks iu that way, what may wc not cxpect from the true men of the South? Mrs. C. L'?dcl is quite feeble. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wilts hare removed to the Dr. F. M. E. Fant place. Almost every house about this country is a hospital, with la grippe and pneumonia. " Several of the colored people have died, one of whom was a former slave of Mrs. Carolina Feaster, widow of the late Mr. Elbert H. Feaster, now of Florida. Miss Emma forward, whose grandparents the above old servant Ann belonged to, had heard ?o much iu her praise that she eought her out some (six) years ago when on a visit to South Carolina. The New York World is still biased against the great people's man, W. J. Bryan, and'in favor of the goklbug Democracy, and of the Republicans of course, but calls this paper Democratic.

Said to be Fed by South Carolina, and Augusta Says it is not Her Fault that the Mil! is Well Fed, Augusta Chronicle While so far there have been but a few petitions for divorce entered in :be issue docket of the superior court 'or the April term, Augusta has in the past few years gotten a seaodalous -eputation throughout the United States for tilt s:ze of her divorce mill, iud the frequency of the grindings. Ii. is a reputation not in the least to )e envied aod one that Augusta does iot deserve by a great deal. And yet l :bere stands the figures as boldly as ;bough cat in marble and then painted jlack. Looking back over the past sessions >t the superior court one will fiod Iivorce3 innumerable, but if they will ,ake the trouble to look at the names )f the persons interested, few of them ire familiar. L? fact, divorce among kngnstaus is a rarity, for married :ouples seem to live "here in greater jarmcny than in any other city on the jlobe. The conditions arc such that a man ;an scarcely fall out "with his wife or nee versa and so they abide together inder the happiest circumstances. The above two statements made ;eem contradictory to the last degree. What then is the solution of the iroblem? Right across the river is a State in which the laws relating to uarriagc are easy, and yet under :;o :ircumstances can a divorce be ob,aine-/?. Here is the primary cause. Persons there marry, and marry some,imes hastily. They repent of their :olly in a year or so and seek lelease :rom the bonds that bind them. They sannot get it, and so there is but one :ourse left them. In Georgia persons resident of the state for one year can apply for divorce md as there are many conditions inder which .hey can get them, the mnappy man or wuuian uuvco w Augusta, the nearest point from most ;owns of South Carolina. After living lere for a year they make their applijation. The case then goes through ;he tei ms of th2 court and so the work s accomplished. If s'arled at the ight lime it only takes a year"to go hrough the three terms of the court, md thus a residence in Georgia of two rears completes the release. It is a fact that three-fourths of the divorces obtained in the superior court of Richnond county are gotten by persons ivho are in reality citizens of South Carolina. Unless the laws of Georgia are so changed as to make divorce harder to obtain, Augusta is liable for all time to iave her divorce court's business swelled to 2ii alarming degree above tvhat it in reality should be.
