"Wednesday, Marcb 16, - - 189S. 850,000,000 FOR PEACE. The rote in the House of Representatives to appropriate $50,000,000 for the use of the President, aad to be expended by him at his aescretion, is ah unusual vote?ayes 311, nays, 0. Every member who spoke agreed that the money should be placed at the disposal of the administration and many thought that tiie amount inoma oe doubled. Tbe only difference of opinion was as to the proper vie* of the appropriation. Some Representatives thoaght it a war measure, and others could not take that view of it, but they all roted for it, including the Speaker who does not usually cist his -vote, except in case of a tie. While this appropriation is m a sense a war measure, in tluc soma emergency appears to exi*t rendering it advisable to provide for the better defense of the country, it will prove, ia our opinion, a measuie of peace. It is an oarnrroositn* ofon fhniich ft r^fttnr.ifolft "oo'1""" ~ "-"ri ? step. Spaiuwill tee that the United States is prepared to defend her dignity and hjnor, and to avenge the murder of her citizens if it stull be sinwn that the Spanish Government is in any way connected with the loss of the Maine. Nobody with any judgment wants war. It will result in the loss of life as well as the waste of a vast amonnt of wealth. Everything that can be done, consistent with our national honor, should be done to avert a war. The chances are that the people who are now clamoring most for war will suffer less by it. The loud-mouthed people do not generally do the fight ing. The next three weeks, we believe, will Assure as peaee. In the meantime, every private citizen need not rnsk to voianic?r There is plenty of lime, and besides vonr services wonld not be worth mnch to the Government. The regular army would have to do the fighting at first, if any should be done on land. The raw volunteer knows nothing about tactics, and is utterly ignorant of the nse of medern guns. The chances are that the guns in the hands of a green soldier would be more dangerous to the raw soldier and his friends than to the enemy. After the regular army had been killed out, then we suppose the Presi dent would call on regular militia of each State. Then volunteers. While the regular army tend the militia were being thinned out, you could then volunteer, and officers would be placed over you to give you some training. THE FIKST STEP MADE. Union has one of the largest cotton mills in the South, a telephone exchange, and a few nights ago electric lights were turned on the little city. Only a few years ago, it was a dead little village. Cotton mills have helped largely to make it grow. The Union Times tells as with what demons:ra tion the citizens witnessed tins last mark of progress. When the electric lights flashed for the first time, the whole population of the town were en the streets and a great shoot was made, brass bands played and a great fuss made to express :he people's joy. The pride of Union in her progress is pardonable. It seems that the order of development of southern towns is about this: First cotton factories, 2nd telephones, 3rd electric lights, 4th water works, 5th more comfortable resideaces, 6th street cars. Of course many things spring up as in?id?nt3 of these improvements. Winnsfeoro has accomplished the first. The second has rsen discussed a great deal and even the third has been mentioned several times. v/e believe that in a year we shall have a telephone exchange, and in two years electric lights. When the other improvements will be made *k rv trtf OP .r?rvnrco It 13 IV/ pri.9ll.LVM, v 4. wu?uv impr?verr.eat ia dwellings usually accompany progress in other lines. Modern styled residences are now approximated, due doubtless to the spirit of progress among us. All of the modern comforts of home, however, cannot be had without electricity and water works, hence we have placed more comfortable homes after them in the order of development. We have made a start. Let us be cheerfal, and keep moving. Beats the Klondike. Mr. A. C. Thomas-, of Marysville, Tex., has found a more valuable dis* covery than has yet been made in the Klondike.

The legislature at its !a?t session passed an act prehibiting the robbing of birds' nests, and the act provides a penalty of twenty dollars for each offence or imprisonment for thirty 3ays.. This is a good law, and it ought to be rigidly enforoed. Herbert Spender attributes sack cruelty is a boy to the sarviral of savage traits ia the race, more or less predominant in each individual. For the development of the better side of a boy's .moral character, if for no other consideration, children 6hnnl<] be imDressed with the wrong: fulness of robbing a birds' nest. Such eruolty practiced in childhood may show itself in the full man in a far worse form. It tends to make the child l?ss sympathetic, and a world without sweet sympathy is a dreary place, and as civilization advances ihe supply of sympathy should be increased, and Hot diminished. Here in Winnsboro the robbing c-f birds' nests is of frequent occurence. The mocking bird, the sweetest singer of all birds in the Sontb, is disappearing. The cat bird another sweet singer is also disappearing. Birds are useful to destroy insests, and, therefore, invalt?ble in aa agricultural country. Spring is now close at hand, and we trust that the birds ffill be ?c fh* l*.w r-ontemDlates. A few fines of twenty dollars will stop the robbing of birds' nests. ?i? MOBLEY'S MEETING H0DSE. Jtfr. Editor: A. W. |L. and his informants are ?iad that that fir6t article doubting Mr. Douglass' location of the meeting house was written, be cause it has called fbrtb his very interesting reply. But there are still some stumbling blocks. In tbe first place, has he calculated how far the mere dot on a map locating this house is from the southwest bank of Little River. Mr. Este* lives barely two miles from this prong of the ri7er. Up to probably 1830 there was' a road which branched off from what we call the Monticello and Chester road, juet above where Mr. Estes lives (signs of this road art still apparent), and converted botb the old Bnckhead road, and on to the Taylor place now owned by W. L. Rosborough. Now my informast# contead that tbe Moeley House, afterwards called the I Hill's Meeting House, was in or near the forks of ibe Monticello and Chester road and thisababdonsd road. Query: Do any of the old maps show tw? meeting houses, or is the Hill Meeting House on one of more recent date than that marking the Mobley Meeting House? Those questions are raised by a conversation recently had with a friend who stated that Wyatt Coleman, who was born about 18Q0, und whose legendery iore was remarkably clear, had told him that the congregation of the Mobley Meeting House was Baptist; that this congregation built oa and moved its membership to Solomon Widener's place; that after Moses Hill came in possession of the place (the Est?s place) a Methodist Church was started at or near the same house. I get from a descendant of Samuel H. Stevenson that he passed this old meeting house in 1812, daily going to school; that she feels clear that he always spoke of the Mose Hill place as the site of the Mobley Meeting House. Now did not Moses Hill and Robert Yongue (commonly called Robin) marry Mobleyi, ana was not tms una (the Estes place) formerly in possession of the Mobleys? Mills in statistics, pp. 555 and 556, says Edward Mobley and six sons settled on Beaver Greek in the vicinity of Waggoner's Fort Now this creek and fort are at least five miles from Littie River. Why did Mills not sav Little River? The"ridge on which E>fes lives may well be called "in ihe vicinity of Waggonors Fort." That they (the Mobleys) owned lands on Little River cannot be questioned, but did tbey build and live there? I have a letter before me which states, "In the year 1858, I, in company with J. W. Yongue, neighbor, and Martin Yongue, brother, of old ? J l If tfiliy lORgue, aenuoacu uy jui. Douglass, went out husting wild hogs, when we came across this place thought by Mr. D. to be the old Mobley Meeting House. Mr. Martin Tongue called the place Wangh's Fort." He related many anecdotes about the fights between the ?'-'"enters of this fort, who were Whi& , .nd the people who made Mobley's feting House their rendevons." I notice by late communication of D. R. Feaster that his father, Esquire Jako Feaster, spoke of this place as Wangh's Fort, and relate^ many stories about Waugh. Mr. Feaster was a noted surveyor, and, from what I have heard of him, a very painstaking, accurate man. Besides he owned lands that must have :-mn very close to this disputed point, and certainly must have had some good reasou for speaking of this aaound as Waugh's Fort. Tne branch running clo?e to this old mound i? called Waugh's branch. ISow if we may add the evidence of our sooter-hunter, Toby Yongue, a very old man at his death and full of remimisences, who always spoke of this place as Wangh's Fort, we think a doubt arises as to the accuracy of maps put in evidence by Mr. Douglass. No doubt all will agree mac an ilia(/3 sic uoi a^i/ui Again, it may well be asked, why are the Waughes buried at this place on Waugh's Branch near Little River, and the Mobley3 and Hills on tne Estes place? Mr- Douglass epeaks of the location of Mobley's old Meeting House on the map owned by Capt. H. A. Gaillard at being "on the west side of the southr west fork of Little River." He speaks of the road which is callad "Grubs Road" on map as running on the west Bide of the southwest fork of Little River. In deed given by Geo. W. Hill to Robert Yongue, 183?, the following description (in part) is found, lying on the southwest Bide of the southwest fork of Little River." This is the present Estes land. But enough. My only object is to fix beyond a doubt the location of this historical point. a. w. l. If a small bottle of Shaker Digtative Cardial does you n? g?od, don't buy a larsr* one.

Editor: Assaming tbatthe township boards of assessors wish to adhere to law andjastice the only waj the valuation of property by some of the board can be accounted for is from ignorance of their duties. The law is that all people shall be assessed for taxation at what it will bring at public sale. In Greenville the rule i? to assess property at one-third its selling value. In other countics onehalf value is the practice. Uniformity is necessary, ttien no harm will be done to anybody. Bat great injustice is done by the Fairfield practise which is to assess some lands at cne-third value and others at two or three times their value. For instance in No. & township, in certain neighborhoods, the ruling price of lands is about ten dollars an acre or more. These are assessed by the board at four dollars an acre. In No. 1 township such lands are assessed at about three dol-( laisanacre. The same will hold, Ij am told, in other townships. I wonder what idea some member of boards have of the meaning of equalization. For instance if told to equalize the burden of a Shetland pony aud a percheron with 2,000 pounds to be hauled; one man might require each to haul 1,000 pounds, whereas sensible and just equalization would give to the Shetland 200 pounds aud to the percheron 1,800 pounds. Equalization of the value of lands means rating them at their true value, as compared with other lands. If land will sell for one dollar an acre assess it at one dollar, if other land is worth ten dollars an acre assess it at ten dollars! though the tracts may adjoin and no matter who the owners may be, any other rule is devoid of sense or lawfulness. I recently returned lands in No. 3 township not at one-half or one-third the value a? is done in many cases but at actual cost of the laBd and at more than it will bring at public or private sale. Yet the township board raised my assessment to more than double tnv valuation. Such action must be the result of ignorance, thoughtlessness or worse Mtn<> member of that board 13 willfng to stand by that valuation or knows seme one who will do po. Some years a^o I returned a tract of land, poor and unproductive, thi best off;;r tor which I had ever hat' being $1,000, at a valuation of $1,150. The board raised i'. to Sl,3S0. I appeared before the board and state-l the facts, but to uo avail, for the member from that township insi&ed that my land was worth what he assessed it at. Soon after it was offered for ud the member was asked what the laid' was worth He replied that $1,100 was all ife would briDg. His judgmeit wsi good in that case, for it sold for exactly $1,100. I learned afterwards that this member's land wrs assessed at the same rate as mine and that it was worth at least three timea as much as it was assessed at. G. H. McMaster. ISHCkleu's Arnica Salxe.

The farmers are pushing their woi*k naw with a vim that speak9 well for :. They are busilv engaged getting their land in readiness for planting. Upland torn land ha?, in some instances, been prepared. Some of Ihe farmers will probably commence planting corn next week. We trust that they will strive to make enough supplies this year for home consumption and quit having to buy them, as has heretofore been the case to a consideiable extuit. When the farmers commence to raise everything they possibly can in the way of breadstuffs for home consumption then they will be on the true road to successful farming. The cotton acreage will in all probability be about the same as last year. Not as much commercial fertilizers will be used, thocgh, as was last year; at least it doesn't look so at present. Last'year's consumption of fertilizers, as will be remembered, was a*i unusually heavy one. The decrease iu ieriilizsrs will doublless cnrtail the crop siomewhat. Gardening is rather backward. The weather keeps so unfavorable that not much progress can be made. Peas, onions, radishes, lettuce and cabbage have, in some instances, been planted. Irish potatoes have been planted also. Small grain not doing so well; lack of sufficient rain probably the cause. The recent rain and graduallv moderating weather will, however, have a tendency to promote the growth of all manner of vegetation. Mrs. D. M.

Our army was by this time fast approaching, and the enemy fearful of being hemmed in betwfjgn Lincoln's army and Moultrie's in towa, thought it prndent to abandon {he .main land, and retire to the islands, aud fortify themselves at Stone Ferrv where they e?uld be supplied with fresh provisions, and supported by the shipping. Upon the arrival of General Lincoln, preparations were made to attack them in his lines at Stone Ferry on Jnne 20th 1779; after the enemy had five weeks time to fortify themselves, instead of attacking thena directly while unfortified, the attack wa3 to be simultaneous at two points, by Lincoln on the front of their lines and by Moultrie from Charleston on their rear. I was attached to Gen. Moultrie's division. Gen. Lincoln commanded tke attack at the time and place agreed upon, but not being supported by Moultrie's division was re pulsed with loss, but the enemy suffered severely too, for during the battle two complete companies of British regular" sallied oat of their works with the intention of flanking and charging our troops They were m?t and charged in a very gallant manner by our infantry under the wommand of Col. Henderson and Mai. Thomas Pinkney with such success that very few ?f them returntd into tkeir works. Here fell the gallant Col. Owen Roberta of the continental regiment of artillery of the S C line. His name and justly acquired fame are reeorded on the pajeu of history. Posterity will know and honor him. When he received his mortal wound, hit son, Cept. Richard Brooke Roberts, came to his dying father to soothe him in hie last moments and receive his blessing. He raised his bead, ?aid farewell and said: "Go, uiy boy, and doyourdntv; don't mind me." Ou the part of Gen. Moultrii, eyery exertion and necessary preparation was made that lay in his power, the troops were ali ready in the wharves to embark, and lay on their atms all night, bnt Jrom some canse, 1 could not lean-, the quarter-mastsr failed in procuring a sufficient number of boats to transport the troops to their destined point in the attack. If they had been procured, it would have availed as nothing, lor the enemy had stationed their armed vessels in Wappoo Cut, *ud our boats and vessels could not have forced their way through them. I believe this was the canse of our repulse., and the cause of ideate to many a brave man. For if Moultrie's division could have reached the point ot attack in ti?s, I feel sire from the spirit that seemed to actuate our men, we should have bsaten the enemy aad gained a complete victory. Iu this battle Opt. James Mitchell, of our l reffimeat, was wounded in the leg, from the effects of which he never got over. SoiBetimc after the b title af Stono, the enemy retreated from Ithand to Wand into Georgia, th'ere 'o defend Savannah from tne attack threatened by Gen. Lincoln and De E<tainge. I was now thought by my supeiieroflcers sufficiently proved and fully competent to commaid a company, though only a lieutenant. So I wns appointed to a dangerous aud important cuamand. This cotintry lately possessed by the British and Tories required great activitv and fidelity to conduct it in safety. This was the second time that I was ordered to join Gen. Licrrnln at. Antniafa. with tuii'IV men and twa field pieces, ere. Before my arrival Gen. Lincoln marched with his armv to wcet Dc Estainge and bis army to beseige Savannah. Upon my arrival at Augusta I teceived orders to proceed on to Savannah with my command, without even a day's rest; rnaki?g a march of about 260 miles. I immediately obeysd orders and followed the route of the retreating enenn. * * * * The roads hsd boen rendered almost impassable, all th? burned down hy the rstreating CL.CIU}, and bui. &iighiiy repaired by our army.

As sh?cp growers in South Carolina cannot obtain protection from dogs by the aid of the Legislature, they will be glad, no doibt, to learn that they car. get it by means of a barbed wire fence of their own 0nstr\:?ti0M?its virtue depending on its construction. The plan is ihe invention of the editor of the American Wool and Cotton Reporter, who has tried it with success a'jd describes it for the in ' - " **"* ? mi lormauoD 01 suntring inquirers. ine i construction, as he says, is "a simple matter." He sets small posts eight feet apart, burying two feet in the ground and leaving four feet projecting. The posts he uses are cedar, as that wood abounds in his neighborhood, and are only three to five inches in diameter. The holes are made with a crowbar, and the posts are driven into the ground with a sledge hammer. The wire measures a rod to the pound, and costs about three cent3 a pound now. "As there are 320 rods in a mile, it follows that one ton of wire, weighing a pound to the rod, would stretch over six and a quarter miles for a single strand. A mile of serenstwmd fence, therefore, womld weigh just 2,240 pounds, and at three cents per pound would ?ost $67.20 for the wire." To make a perfect fence a staple is needed for each wire at each post. The labor of building the fence is "trifling." "There is hardly anything on the farm so cheap as a barbed wire fence." Mr. Bennett, the editor of the Reporter, declares that his fences are 'praetically dog-proof," where he uses but six strands of wire and one wooden rail to steady the posts, "but seven strands are better." The first strand is put "very close to the ground, so that the sheep and dogs cannot ' *? ?? - - -V - J erawi unaer." nrnere me jjrounu is irregular it rests on the surface in places, and "should not be more than three inches from it at any point." The second wire runs 4 inches above the first, the third 5 inches above the second, the fourth 6 inches above the | the third, the f fth 6 inches abeve the fourth, the sixth 8 inches above the fifth, then a wooden rail, 8 inches above the sixth, and the seventh 8 inches above the rail. Tbis arrangement, it is noted, m*y be varied, of course, according to circumstances, bnt it is substantially the slan used bv the editor "and it has proved effective" to keep dogs out of a held, as they do not relish the action of the barbs. The same fence ia also "perfectly satisfactory for cow?," bat mast not be used where horses are are pastured. T*e objsctioa has b.'en suggested that the barbed wire fence is unsuited for sheep bec&iee it picks little tafts of wool from them; bat "all the wool it would take from a flock of 500 sheep would hardly amount j to tk? value of a siegle ?d?." The sh?ep, moreover, "speedily get u?qaainted with the fence and leave it alone." The important and essential fact about it is that dogs "cannot erawl under or betweea the wires, and will not jump ever it," Mr. Bennett's ?rn?ripnp? hfiner that, si ferine of the ?? ? ? height stated it never sealed by a dog "unless it is something that he can put his pawt *pon when jumping oyer." It is a "simple" fence; is "inexpensive easily ?onstru?ted aud lasting, and the assarance it that it is impassable to dogs. Possibly it will solve the dog problem for some of the afflicted farmers in South Carolina, How to Find Out.
