He lias purchased the Shillito ^ uitation, ill the White Lick section and s u fine prospect for a crop. y He is an ^ ihusiastic lover of his profession, and \ bound to succeed. j. Mr. W. N.

Mr. ,, msom is a scicntitic larnier. You will j( d all of his crops planted, and cultivaI in accordance with science, sense aud ml sound judgment. ^ Mr. Geo. W.

Judging by the tireless li orgy he has manifested, in cultivating ? crop, which is given up to bo the oi est in his section. We delight to lion- h a successful noble young farmer. II is t? notorious fact, that nearly all of our d en ted young men reject the profession \: agriculture as a low, and menial pro- ei slon. They must all be professional tl ;u?lawyers preachers doctors, t'ce. e know of 110 profession which oll'eis ! fair a prospect of honor and success as |j it of agriculture. Until there is more jent devoted to this profession it will j', nain a dull routine, it must have eneo and intelligence, to guide and ect it, to make it what it should be, *1 ; noblest profession of all. *j L'he peach crop is heavier than it has sl tAn for years. The fruit is not so large, ing, i suppose, to the overcrop upon j trees. There is a large amount of j unriy being made. We are under the :l nrf-ssion tliat when the cost is countod.' ancially, morally, mentally, and pliys-1t] illy, there is nut much made by con- v rung peaches into brandy. Wo arc informed by the Sheriff that up the coining in of the blackberry crop ariy all prisoners sent up were for steal- t Since the fruit crop has come they t, ii sent up for fightiiig, and breaking jj ntracts. u We knew an old fogy in our ycWmg n ys who, during a dry spell, cut all the a eral roots of his corn. When asked i' e reason why, he replied he wanted to s >p it from growing until the rains came, u sto2>i>cd but lias never started again. c Mr. James Baskins is by far the best ? x>r controller in his section of county. 1 i treats his laborers justly, pays them ? omptly, is kind but .firm, and iJiey on Kir part must work and toe the mark a nerally. We think this plan should be } liversally adopted. This tiling of acting I .vards a negro as if you were dependt upon him will spoil the best negro oorer that ever entered a field. Kind-1:> ss, firmness, prompt payment, on the j j ipioyer's part should be the motto of i cry farmer, while lie requires the negro 1 r a faithful performance of his duty. 11 Judging by what we have soon, it will j1 ke about 1200 acres of cotton to make a v Ling line, and about six hundred acres! !| to an ush ciike.

' 10 limbs arc actually taking the roads , sonic sections. The most.disagrccabie J t you can perform is to ride a horse six- ' un hands high along the public high- : ays in this county. It is a continual * >dge from side to side. It is out of the ^ icstion to use a buggv umbrella for iiles in some sections. Let the County \ mimissioners see that their servants ' ear the track of these iritating nui- 1 mces. * Mr. Walter Richardson, of Ninety-Six, inks the establishment of a court house ' ill multiply tho loafers of that quiet \ ttlo burg. That it will tend to demoral- j e labor to a ccrtaiu extent no one can mbt. Wo suppose, Mr. Richardson 1 ubibcd this objection by observing the izen's of able bodied men, black and i hite, loafing upon our streets daily. i Young ladies who are fond of llirting 1 ill soon hud out, that one true devoted ver who is iu earnest, is better than a i >zen accomplished admirers, who don't : oaii lnwitirwM. Isaac Frazior who Is freo and is master 1 T his own time undertook the other day I i stoal a march upon Mr. Tusten's time. ? stepped into-Mr. Tusten's time estab- | ?hinent and at a time when Mr. Tustcn j as not looking, lilted time and made .lick time in another direction. When ir. Tusten glanced around he found that ' 3 had lost time, and being very careful time he could not bear the iiiea of his iue slipping through Isaac's lingers, ' aac was :ont up lor thirty days to moditc on the crime of stealing time. I Mc, James iladdon near Dorrough's irn out is one of the few talented young icn who has chosen agriculture as a fofossion. He has made money rapidly ul has be<m one of the most constant 1 aycrs at home that we know of. 1 lcessunt and close application to his provision may account for his success. The bridge over Curl Tail Creek, nown as Wharton's bridge, was let by thr. IwMinl luvt uesday for one hundred and seventy j ,vo dollars. The same bridge was let cut nd cost the county ton years ago four undrcd and twenty dollars. Verily jere is a reformation in the financial [fairs of this county. Mr. George Bradley and Mr. S. C. Cason ay they love all prettly girls. You are 1 error, young men. Love one girl truly ud devotedly, and you will feel kinil nd friendly towards the whole human unily, but" to undertake to divide your >ve with all the pretty girls in a count}' >rty miles square would require a heart i largo as the Pyramids to give each outgrain. Mr. R. A. Griffin, of Ninety-Six, is nown us tho most successful planter in is section. He says he keeps about ten lilos of fence up to keep his neighbors ;ork olf of his crop. Of course he ivors the fence law. Mr. Smyloy Harmon, of Bordeaux, is eservcdly popular amongst the ladies, le isagoou "brick." If it was not for myley, the socials, Ac., would be failres in Bordeaux. He is the moving l?irit and life of all gatherings in that eighborhood. Court comes on tliis fall one month nrlier than heretofore. It has "nipped 1 tho bud" the annual mountain trip of nine of our lawyers. They have been utting and blowing over "complaints" uring^tho last month, instead of enjoyug the*o/)ol bracing air of tho Blue Kidge. Elijah Jones, colored, a desperate eliarcter t'roin Bordeaux, was arrested and arried before Judge Hussy. He was utrageonslv \ iolent, resisted officers, .'rial Justice and eursed out the whole lampton Government generally. 1I<j i-as required to give a bond of two hunirc-d dollars, failing to do, he was lodged 11 jail. It took three constables to bring .,e desperado foin lJorde.iux, eo&ting the ounty not less than ten dollars. While he devil was still in hint?while hatred nd revftige was being rolled under his ongt'.eajs asweei ttiorsal, not ten hoursafL*r his incarceration, he was turned loose ipon society again upon a straw hand. The following persons have been lodgd in jail sin.-j A.i ;tisi 1st, nearly all for ictty crimes, and sentenced to thirty lays: Francis Mathews, Scott Moscly, 'alherine Jackson, Andrew Cater, Jas. 'uuniugham, Isaac Fra/.ier, Klija Jones, Villiam Ellis, Adam London and Noah Vare. (' iHicrino Jackson was arrested on a icace warrant and carried before Judge Vdman, and requested to give a responible bond, failing to do so, she was Jilged in jail. She was turned out on a traw bond by Trial Justice Hughes. Ve had hoped that the days of malfeasance nd rascality was over in Abbeville aunty, but alas l'or human hopes and fishes. Mr. (J.

Mr. Foster Cromer keeps batehelors all at present. We learn that his attracon is for one of William&ton's fair aughters. You are excusable Foster. It is said that not less than three thoujnds colored people attended the eamp looting last Saturday and Sunday. The crops near McKay's Mills are liming vi]> for want of rain. \Vo hope lioir hearts will be made glad ere long y abundant showers. Mr. Preston Allen, of Lowndcsville, eeps batchelor's hall, when ho is busy. Vhen he is not, the hall keeps itself, and 'rcss Hies around amongst the girls. If e ports are true Press will "cross the ead lino" ere many moons wax and wane. Mr. A. Z. Bowman, uear Diamond prings, is a successful farmer and a geial host. He conducts his farm so as to jave liis land in better tilth and more ;rtile alter each crop. The DeLaHowo farm has suffered fearilly for want of rain, yet Mr. Allen tamoy, the model of Superintendants, ud successful farmers, has a lair proseot of making a good average corn crop ) support his orphan boys and girls anther year.

The loss of trade to tli dealers in dry goods, groceries, boots sui< shoes, clothing, drugs, and other whole sale goods, is not far from ?3,000,000 mort and the varied manufacturing industrie would have turned out 81,750,000 worth c products during the time they were kep in forccd idleness by the mob. Hero is total, in round dumbers, of ?7,000,(KK Ten per cent, of this would be $700,00( which is rather an under estimate of th wages to workers and the profits to tli capitalists who would have liandled th property.

McLu- ' wis is tlie editor. J Tiik Marion Star is a home-printed paper, and is always filled with the cream , of the local and county news. The editor 8. W. Morris, is a hard worker, and . ' will no doubt meet with the greatest sue- . cess in his business. Tub Aiken Courier Journal .?Thin pa- j peris edited better than the printing is \ done. If brother McKay would invest j five dollars in a new rollor it would be { vastly to his advantage. This journal is ^ always on the lookout for locals, and t never fails to have an interesting miseel- | lany of news from all sections. i The Darlington Southerner after a few ? months of suspension from being burnt i outlast January, is out again as fresh 1 and as vigorous as ever, and we are glad \ to have it on our table. If this paper was 1 printed in a smaller tvpo, the size might i be reduced ono column to the page. | This would be a great saving to the edit- ' . or and no loss to the reader.

Tjik Greenville Daily News is aspright- , ly littlo daily and now gives the latest } press dispatches. If the foreman or * somebody else about the olliee would give , , appropriate headings to the telegraphic } [ news, this interesting feature of the paper 1 would be cnliauced. I i The Manter True Southron is always a | readable paper, with a fair showing 01 ! locals every week. The editors generally j i looks over their country exchanges as ; well as his city dailies. Messrs. l)arr & ' , Osteon are excellent printers and full of 1 s energy. May thejr live long and prosper. 1 It's always refreshing to get the New- ' ' berry Herald. It's attractive make-up or ' locais and general news makes this paper i one of the most welcome guests at our } i sanctum. i The Anderson Tntclligcnccr is one oi ; the largest papers in the State, and nub- 1 ! lishes more matter than any weekly in the State except the 1'rctt.s and Banner. ' ! It always has editorials on the current 3 topics of the dav with a good sprinkling } of locals, and a liberal supply of dots & from country correspondents. The Intelligcncer is a superb paper, edited by t E. JLi. Murray, Esq., a rising j'oung lawt yer of that town. The Anderson Journal is always filled ^ with choice locals, ana otncr interesting 1 matter, and is as neat as a pin. Editor' Todd in an energetic man and doserves i great success. The Journal is a young ' paper but ranks high among its cautomI poraries. ?' The Pee Dee Watchman, at DarBijijton, by the Messrs. A. A. Gilbert ancR/If.

' J might bo published in a smaller paper, and considerable money might be saved in i paper bills by reducing one column to i { tlie page. It is an honor to Darlington. Mr. David J. Cartkr, of the Lancas. tcr Ledger, is an excellent editor, who reads all his exchanges, more or less, and never fails to have something reada- , ble in his editorial columns, lie pays , o much attention to locals, and makes this an attractive feature. The selections in - the paper are good. If the Ledger was reduced to a six column paper, he could give his readers all the matter ho now gives, and the paper would be of a moro convenient size. ? j[ The Turk's Strong Point. \ The New York Times vory clearly if shows that the strongest point of the Rus3 sian and Turk is in defensive warfare, f and that the Turkish regular as the de,t lender of a fortitied position is unequalled e in the world. The inferiority of the Turk e in the open field is not for the want of valor, but because of a well founded dints trust of tlie ability or honesty of his otlitl cers. But behind entrenchments he is i- every inch a soldier. Hence Russia, in >; attacking Turkey, does so at some disads vantage, and thcTurk in receiving the at.< to..L- lu.i.inri ii'ifiir;il ramnarts and ?rtifi it ciHl earthworks is very much compensaa ted for tho disparity in physical force. ). Russia, in defense, has won imperishable ), glory. In atlkick against first class powo ers she has biien disastrously beaten, e An eminent English military critic of e experience ways: it "In holding his ground, against any li odds, the (Turkish grenadier is unsurrl passed. Were the enemy to come sweopd ing down upon him 40,000 strong, where 11 he stands yonder, a solitary sentinel, ho d would flro his piece among thoni as rcso-1 lutely asif he had an army at his back, I and then fall where he stands, without ,j yielding an inch. With his implicit faith i , In dOBtiny, and his noble sell'-sacrilie in ,* the ($ausc of God and the Sultan, he is ca- J pablo of endurance and elfort that might . put a Spartan to the blush?witness tho I |j waii, famine stricken, hollow-eyed spoctres/that manned so staunchly tho walls n of ^beleaguered Kars. Take care of the n officers, keep tho Pashas' hands from bribes, and you may trust tho Turkish scildier that no Ruasian regiment over o poaches tho gates of Constantinople.'' 11 If Oftman and Suleiman Pashas nrovo v faithful against Russian gold, as Memo ' 'J met AH undoubtedly win, the end of tliej (' ) I I * ? 1 nvasion may not be such as many perions imagine. With the heroic Klapka n command of one of the Ottoman grand umies, the difficulties of the Czar would je increased. So far, the Turkish Generils have shown themselves moro than a natch for their opponents; but the Rus;ians seem bent upon adopting Grant's dea of "attrition ana superior weight of neat." It is hard for the most heroic jeople to stand up against such a policy vhen the capacity to carry it out is unluestionable. The Turkish Minister at Washington, Vristarchi Bey, in a recent interview, hough apprehensive of the final result, lid not hesitate to predict that the war voul.l be, in any event, a long and dreadiil one. Our dispatches of yesterday (ring intelligence that the Czar has imtortuned Austria to permit him to attack Turkey on the Servian Hank. That is ,'urkey's weakest^pot. If Austria is raitorouH enough to permit this request I would not astonish us to see a British rmy landed at Constantinople very soon hereafter.?Chronicle and Sentinel. Inquiries nnd Answers. No. 1. "Would truck farming and stock raising pay on a twenty-live acre farm immediately; upon a railroad and eighteen miles from market?" The locality is good and tho distance rom market is just right. Dairymen ill lew York State make money by shiping milk over one hundred miles every a}'. But how to raiso stock and sell ruck from a twenty-five aero lot is huckleberry over our simmon."

We would unhesiitingly say tliero is no mouoy in that jrm. No. 2. "Will you please give us your experience with the red rust-proof oats?" We havo boon giving this to the public t least once a quarter for nearly ten oars, and were we to attempt to condense : in one writing wo would have to pubish an octavo volume. We say to you, f you novor have tried the red oats, buy ne, five, or ten bushels at once, as soon s possible after the cotton in your best eld is picked over tho lirst time in Scpjmber, run two shovol furrows between very two rows, sow the oats at the rato of ne and a half bushels per aero, and cover rith one furrow made by a shovel and leel swoop, or two shovel furrows. In February knock down the cotton stalks, iid when ripe cut tne oat crop, nouso lie oat3 one week after harvesting, and ut up with cutting knife what is fed to ilough or work animals, and if you have nough to last always neither you nor our work stock need ever care whether ora is ten cents or ten dollars a bushel. No. 3. "I have seen you quoted as authority for giving strychnine to hogs to 'keep otr thieves. I've used tho prescription' with good results, but have no 'idea that it would hurt a pork stealer to 'eat a hog that had swallowed it." You have seen us misquoted, for we ounselled against such a policy when nice appealed to. If, however, the public ould be as successful as you have been n frightening off the thieves, we would lot hesitate to recommend tho use of this Leadly .poison, for though deadly to man, logs and perhaps other animals, strychlino is not poisonous to hogs. Wo havo i line Essex sow that wo gave daily what vould lie on the end of the largo blado of , {Jockct-knifo, during last winter, until he ate more than an ounce. She seemed o bo improved in health by it; we would imply put it in a biscuit and give her the jiscuit to wit. No. 4. "Have you ever tried the Victor 'Mill and Cook's Evaporatar?" Wo have not tried tho Victor Mill, but lave seen it frequently at work, and we enow it does good work; but why go that ar l'roin homo far a mill? As good a nill as any man need wish to own was nade for us at the Nisbot Iron Works, in tfacon, Ga.; and as mills arc made in Jharlcston and Columbia, [John Alexmder, of Columbia, makes such aricles at lower rates] why ,not buy icarer homo, if you only save freight.

Wo have, however, leard practical men say that' they were veil pleased with them. 2s o. r>. "Will the red oat degenerate 'into the back oat? I find many black 'seeds amongst my rod oats." If the rod oat is loft in tho field in the stock and is frequently wet by rain, it ;cts very dark and is almost black, but lever looks like what is known as tho jlack oat. Tins season the oat crop is /ery much discolorod by tho wet fortlight in Juno, but that would not bo the :ase with the crop grown from those very iced if harvest time next year should be lry. Tho black oat is a distinct variety, /erv hardy, sometimes heavier than the ed'oats, and is seldom alfocted by rust, Wo know farmers who to this day sow black oats in preference to red, becausc J icy believe them to bo a surer crop, Where travelling threshers are used ilixod seeds are almost Inevitable.
