Thomas. few days ago we had the pleasHire of meeting Mr. james M. Latimer, nr., a prominent farmer of the Lowndes*ville section, He is a strong believer in 'enriching farming lands, aud thinks it indispensible to successful farming, but he thinks the only profitable way of Improving lands is by the home-made Airtitiiam Wir cpvpi-mI Wftrs wnee the war, he used the best guano ever in the market, and one year used live hundred dollars worth, and has never been able, to see that he was benefitted in the least by its application. He now works in the old way of enriching his lands from his stables and lot, and the result is most satisfactory. He has one patch of <two and a half acres, which in 187-' and 1873 made each year live bales of cotton' ?two bales to the acre. This year, owiug to the drought, he thinks that he will not get more than six thousand pounds of seed cotton from the same Aaad. For years his wheat farm has tbeea one of the most productive in the tjommunity in which lie lives, and he thinks the good yield is the result of using the home-made fertilizers. Mr. iiatimer thinks our country cannot prosper as long as thousands of the planters' money Is thrown uwsy in the purchase of worthless commercial fertilizers, 'The Ii'kotcre ox English Poetry. ?According to previous announcement, ;the Rev. E. Jt. Miles delivered his "'Lecture on English Poetry," to an Attentive and appreciative audience on .Friday evening last. The lecture occupied an honr and flfteeu minutes in the ^eiivery, *nd was listened to with xuarked interest to the close. It presented an attractive review of the history of the "divine art," from Chancer to Tennyson, and was embellished throughout with sparkling gems from the rich treasure-house of English literature.

The Abbeville Fair.?We publish In another column, lists of the committees appointed to make awards of premiums at the approaching Fair, as well as a progrmme of exercises, and the regulations to be observed on the occasion. _ The committees have been selected from the best people of the county, and their intelligence and character afford a guarantee that proper discrimination will be exercised, auif the utmost fairness exttihltori In nvi>ivHnlrt)i? nPorttlniVia Thf? programme of exercises presents its usual attractions, and will doubtles draw out a large crowd. In addition to the exhibition by day, an attractive enter-j taininent will be furnished on one of the nights, (Thursday) by the young people, hi the way of charades &c., which will add raucu to the general enjoyment. "We tr?stte see a fine display and active competition, in all the departments, and a zealous co-operation on the part of the public to make the Fair a great success. \Ve expect to see a large crowd. H8T We had the pleasure of meeting Tnlm T Millpr. Tt!fan nil \ronrl>iv Inch who had beeu in attendance upon the laying of the corner stone of the Piedmont Manufacturing Company's building in Greenville, on the Saturday previous. A Lodge of Master Masons was opened at the residence of Col. Hammett, the Presideut of the Company, and formed a procession, moving down to the site of the factory, and laid the corner stone with the formalities of the Masonic. order. Considerable interest -was manifested in the enterprise, and "we have no doubt that the building will be a pride and honor to the public spirit and enterprise of the citizens of Greenville. It will be second ill importance to none in the State. Mr. G. \V. Bo wen, a sterling citizen of the upper section of the County, has been lately on a visit to relatives in Arkansas and Mississippi. He rej*)rts short crops of cotton and grain, and returns better pleased than ever with his home in Abbeville. His relatives, he says, would be glad to get back, it they could do so without a sacrifice. His advice to his friends is, to stick tc the old homestead. He saw no place in the West he liked as well as Abbeville. Don't go West. HSF The man who fed his hogs on strychnine to keep thieves from killing and eating them, hasn't got any hogf now He had as little practice in giving physic as a Confederate army surgeon, and gave too much. He has since then gone into the soap business aud has been able to furnish all the soaj Sroase he wanted without patronizing is neighbors. A man never kuowi what a day may bring forth. We sup pose, two weeks ago, that Mr. Wm Purdy. of the Cedar Spriugs neighbor bood, had lio idea of goiug into any sucl a business. A Charleston firm has reccnth liad two big boards put up near ou square with his advertisement paintei on it. When a man wants to see wha js on them, he eau get to do so by walk ing a hundred and fifty yards. As th boards now stand, they have their back to the business portion of the townmerely out of modesty, we presume That's the way they should be put u[ they will do the least harm in that wa^ ,as very few will ever find out what is o them.

'"7T. .J'.. ... Longkel.i.o'w's New Poi:?r. ? " The > I Hanging of the Crane/' is the title of J:i beautiful poem which the most popular of the masters of American verse has! just given to the public. The title designates the first act in housekeeping on the part of a youthful couple, and the poem, in its soft melliffluous verse, presents the several phases of a happy life , drama, from the first "house-warming," . to the ''golden wedding," with its f)leasi ant memories and joyful surroundings. . The poem is in the* author's happiest mood, and its happy pictures of nuptial love and graceful imagery, drawn from every phase of domestic life, show the hand of a master. It is destined to be a classic, and its choice phrases to live in the memory. Though somewhat long for publication in a newspaper, we are tempted to give it to our readers.

A large meeting of Conservatives and ,J Independent Republicans was held in ' Charleston on Thursday last, to protest against the appointment of C. C. Bowen, B. H.
