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

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.

KBOTECT THE BIKB5.
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.

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.

ASSBSSIkLEXX OF PROPERTY. T
Xt. 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.

UPPER LONGTOWX AFFAIRS.
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.

MOORE'S MEMOIRS.
(Continued.)
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

DOG-PBOOF TEKCES FOR SHEEP
PASTURES.
JXewiand Courier.
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

suggested that the barbed wire fence

little tafts of wool from them; bat
"all the wool it would take from a

fact about it is that dogs "cannot

How to Find Out.
Fill a bottle of common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment of settling indicates
an unhealty condition of the kidneys.
When nrine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urioale or pain in the back, is
also convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Iiu i. '*"> .'""^at kidney remedy,
fulfills every w.isu in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of "liquor, wine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to
gtSl up LMBiiy UIUC3 UUllUg lug mguii >v
urinate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Roor js soon
realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cores of tbe most distressing
cases. If you need a medicine
you should hare the best. Sold by
druggists, price fifty cents and one
dollar. You mar have a sample bottle
and pamphlet both sent free by
