Tn order that our people may Vosin to]
think about their ability to moot tho in-1
creased expense that would be incurred;
by the adoption of the proposed Consti-j
tutional Amendment reducing the area of
the counties, we offer some figures below. I
?"?._ ;? r.-.r thr foi's and
'I flu f.lUlll.nt Lf. iv... ...
Salaries of tlio officers of Abbeville county.
Of course where the f?-es are paidj
<>nt of tha Treasury, hut where the fees!
are contingent on the services rendered;
in such offices ns the Probate Judge, the.
Master in Equity, the .Sheriff and the!
Clerk, in order to make t!ie salary snfli-j
cient in the smaller counties the fees will
hayc to be raised, so (hat a citizen having!
business in one of these offices must pay j
higher than he would have done if the)
county is not divided. The law. we he-,'
lievc, requires some of these officers to
keep their offices open every day. In
Abbeville county the salaries and fees in
Abbevillo county are estimated as fol-'
lows:
Sheriff and Deputy Sl.OOo j
Clerk 1.500 J
Auditor 1.20!) !
Treasurer 800
Master in Equity GOO j
Probate Judge l..r>00 !
School Commissioner fiOO j
Co. Commissioners Clerk 1.000 j
Supervisor of Registration 500 I
In this estimate of the Sheriff's in-j
come no allowance is made for the board j
of prisoners, as that item of expense,
would be, under the proposed arrangeinent,
no more than it is at present.
? These figures are about as low as competent
men can he found to do the work
In the State officers the increased expense
will be something. About ten new
Judges, and as many additional Solicitors
will bo required. The Judees now receive
a salary of 83.500 annually, and the
Solicitor $1,500. The increased annual
expense for clerical fom* or new officers
in Columbia could not be less than $10.>000.
The proposed Constitutional Amendment
would add fifty new counties in
this State. This woulfl add tho nam^s of
fifty new Senators to the pay roll, ($2.~>rt to
each.) Tho act of drawing a jury costs
$23. In each county there are annually
three petty juries and one grand juryfour
in all, at a cost of $02. Annual expense
alone of drawing juries for fifty
new counties would be $1,600. The Jury
Commissioner is required to attend Court
at a cost of $2 a day?on an average of
four days at each Court?$21 a year. For
fifty ccunties $1,200. At each Court there
nre usually about half-dozen bailiff's at
Sl'.O a day fur every day of the Criminal
"Court, say six days, at $0 a day, $54. For,
fifty counties, $2,700. At each Court thej
man who call* %ou rt gets something and
it is necassarv to have one of these at
every Court in every County, tnciden-j
fal expenses at each Court, repairs of;
public buildinors, insurance, wood, lights,!
wtationery ifce., $?00 a year for each coun-;

"We know that there arc persons who
would bo willing to hold Court over
?omebody's store room, or in somebody's
gin house, and then contine tne prisoners
in the village guard house, aud thus save
the jail and Court House expense. There
are others again who would require, the
. bonded officers to keep their money and
papers in their pockets, or in a borrowed
*afe, and it is also certain that there are
etill a large class who would bo willing to
<cut down the fees of the Judges and the
Solicitors to half the present pay. There
are also many men whothink the present
pay of the old county offices would be
reduced sufficiently to pay the new offi
<;crs. There are yet another class of men
who think tho officers who would accept
one-third of their present pay in Abbe
ville county, are hard to find, mere are
others again who think the above figures
are all wrong. But it should not be forgotton
that the Supervisors of Registration,
the Auditors, and tho Treasurers in
110 county receive less than ?>00. tl.
Health Dots.
Now, when disease is brought to our
liouses by the autumn winds, and when
death conies to our homes in the tainted
air, it behooves our people to bo extremely
cautious as to tho condition of their
surroundings. It is a well established
fact that sickness comes from violated
laws of health, and that death is often
tho penalty for a disregard of the
principles which enable us to resist the
approach of sickness. Pig pons, sinks,
rotting eabbago in the garden, decaying
Irish potatoes in the closet, and filthy
grounds around the house are certain
?auses of some of tho most fatal and
most dreaded forms of sickness. For
instance, a rottinc cabbage iu the garden
is open invitation to typhoid fever.
Filthy pig pens, and offensive back lots
?re fruitful sources of typhoid fover and
diptheria. These diseases never come
without invitation in some way.
The alternate exposure to the early
dews and to tho midday sunshine is promotive
of chill and fever.
We should now put on warmer clothing
than we were accustomed to wear in
the hot weather. Let no man suppose
that ho is making himself strong and
neiiitny uy expuaurc to mo uimj u? ,,,
insufficient clothing. We should husband
our health resources, and not make
unnecessary draughts on our vital powers.
Iloaithy food, and sufficient clothing
are tho best of protectors from disease.
Go to bed with a good square
meal in the stomach.
m m
The Circus will be here next Monday.
Bring jour children, and let them have a
good time. The clown, the animals, the
acting, and the sights generally, well repay
the trouble and the expense. Those
persons who have a holy horror of the
wickedness of c.'rcus performances can
rome and see the street procession. That
costs nothing.

After the reading of an interesting
war sketch by Judge JJcGowan, a discission
followed, which was participated

Why Poultry liaising Doesn't Pay.
No branch of rural Industry Is so tntfh neglected
In this country as tlic raising of poultry.
Fowls are left to roost In tiees, in cattle
shells, barns and every place where they can
uet a foothold. No seperate place is thought
to be requisite, as they are looked unon us f. e<;hooters,
or a sort of necessary evil, only lit.
for women and children to attend to. They
therefore detlle the feed, and destroy more
than they are worth, and it Is not tun onunon
to see machinery, wagons buggies, ect.. Ho
I foul that they have to be thoroughly cleaned
! whenever used. The kindsgenerally kept ?ie
the "dung hill," made up of a:i giad. sund
sizes, the average weight being from three to
four pounds, and having no destlnclive qualities,
as good table fowls, or prolific layers,
from continual Inbreeding on the same stock,
a1 >d from starvation and exposure, they become
no bett'*r than wild fowls, and ro' wortli
raising. In the winter tJi?-y are orten t< un<l
in a most pitiable plight, with feet frozen to
I stumps, and combs and wattles dropping olT'
with lrn?t. The consequence Is that ill I lie
j winter, when eggs se'I readily, the hens dont"
lay. Where the lions lav. is hall the time
1 never khown, nnd the egrrs are brought In
j in every staaeof incubations, nnd sent to the
I county store as sound?from under the barn,
i in the horse-manger, behind the hog-pen fan!
ning-inill and every eonceivable place. The
majority of ebb-kens hatched, therefore, come
by chance; hens steal away, and In In/ forth
broods, which, as n rule, have to serath for
their own living; and but a small proportion
live. I have know 11 large tanners who did not
raise a slnhle l?ird during the year, and then
'complained of bad luck. A portion of the
chickens had died through exposure, without
'proper coops, and another large part had
: fallen a prey to rats, which, in the summer
months, when there is no grain in the barn,
become fearfi Hy destructive to young poultry.
A rat will then attack nnd kill L'osllnps
In broad daylight, and carry off chickens
with theea'-e with whlcn an old fox wllicarry
ofl a ben.
There is no use trying lo rnlse poultry without
proper houses for laying and hatching,
siirtllclent food, care and attendance-in fact,
systematic rearing and teedln*. With this,
poultry is one of the best paying Investments
011 the farm.

i ItnpfNe a s; stem that will oppress tiie one cit|
izeii. which If It involved fhe masses at one
jnnd the same time, would be inslantly r??pndialed
by t'lem. A system which requires
| such a s-'critlcc of one. or n score of citizens
I nt one time, will require tlie same sacrifice
of e icti and every one in Ills turn. S iy there
I are annually Itturand Jurors, and 21 petit juI

I estimate of ?I per day fur the full term of the

required for the full term of the sess'ons.
j 'I'll'' law makes them necessary to the organisation
of the court, and they must remain
there till tiie end. unless sooner discharged in
i tli^ di-erellon of the Judge. Add to Ihls experuliturc
that amount, incurred by the cloud
! of witnesses, and then the number of parlies
j litigating, ami we have an amount which in
i less than live years would defray all the expenses
of erecting court houses. Jails, poor
I houses, ifcc. Add still to the above the further
expense of the citizen who in pursuit of his
j private Interest*. is compelled to go to tiie
court house and cannot return the same day,
| by reason < f the distance, an I we have a fair
| estimate of the burden and inconvenience atI
tending the present system of larije counties.
I The argument, against, small counties on tiie
score of expanse, therefore, cannot be maintained,
but raliier should lie hurled with
i crushing force against tiie present system. In
I less than ten years tiie saving to tiie people ot
Abbeville county would defray the expense
of all the puflic buildings of the new coun1
ties, build their bridges and put thnlr public
i roads in perfect order which is far from being
j tiie condition of the latter now. Our roads
[ are scarcely passable. Jt is witn inn uimnsi
idifficulty the citizen can sot to the court

j Spring it is impossible from some quarter* to
travel over them. This Is tlic result of the
present system of large counties. Cut them

to the people, concentrate their energies
on a smaller area anil we will have better
j roads and bridges, our people will become

Lay a Fainting Person Dotyii.
It is surprizing how everybody rn.dies at a
' falntlne person, and strives to raise him up,
ami especially t?> keep his bead creel. There
must be an InstluUve apprehension that if a
person seized wl?li a faintingor other fit fall
into the rfcumbi'i.t posiison, death Is more
{Imminent. I must have driven a mlleto-dny
. while a lady fainting was held upricht. I
; founil her pulseless, white, ami apparently
dying, and I believcthat If I had delayed ten
j minutes longer she would have really have
I died. I laid her head down on a lower level
: th-iti her body, and immediately color returnJ
ed to her llps'aud cheeks and she became conscious.
To the excited groug of friends J
sab): Always reiiierntier this fact, namely,
fainting Is caused by a want of blood in the
brain ; the heart ceases to act with sufficient
force to send the usual amount of blond to the
brain, and hence the person loses conclousn
s* because the function of the brain aso<.
Kcstorc the blood t<? the brain, and instantly
the person recovers. Now, though
the Mood is propelled to all parts of the body
bv the aclion of the heart, yet It Is still under
the influence of the lavs gravitation. In Hie
erec' position the blood ascends to the head
against gravitation, and the supply to Ihe
br..in is diminished, as compared with the
recumbent position, the hearts pulsation brin?T
e<|ual. If I lien, you place n person silting
whose heart is nearly ceased to beat, his
brain will tail to receive blood while y you
lay liitn down, with trie head lower than the
heart, blood will run Into the brain by the
mere force of gravity : and in fainting. In
sutliclent (juantity to restore consciousness.

j The follow in*: from tlie I.onrtan Live Stock
I Journal Is a pood statement of some practical
I points suggesting the extent lo which milking
q ualit ies are dependent on treatment and
1 trainii'::
| "A copious flow of milk, sustained throncti
many months, is a quality which has been
i produced by art in domestication. Wild cati
tie rarely provide more than enough milk to
I rear their own offspring, and the How of it is
I <if comparatively short tluiaflon. Small In
I volume, the milk Is rich in quality, but the
lacteal organs t-oon dry off again This, of
course, is In harmony with the requirements
.of the young animals in a wild state, and Is a
'correlation of the roving life and hap-hnswird
! feeding of thedams. Mom mlllc tlian the calf
i requires under such conditions would lie a
'waste of material energy which nature does
nol encourage It would, moreover, he nn encumbrance
to theother. Wild cattle arc neither
good milkers nor good fatleners, and in
| patts of England where calves art; allowed to
] run with their domesticated dams geneyUion
| alter eencratiou, the breed of such auiniaN Is
not famous lor milk-giving. I.Ike that of the
mare and ewe. the milk is smaller In quantiI
ty, rich In quality and short of duration. The
desultory and irregular sueking of a calf, or
foal, or lamb is not conducive to the iievelopI
nient of a large flow of milk, and It distinctly
I tends to shorten the How. Hand milking of
I similar character has the same ell'ect. Young
people are allowed to learn to milk on cows
who are going dry for calving, not those who
are still in full flow Beginners soon dry up a
cow's milk, and hud milkers do the same.
"Heavy milking properties, then, arearliflclal,
in the sense that they have been developed
under domestication, and liy careful
breeding, tor a given end; yet. like many othi
er qualities, are little more than mere germs
| In nature, they become hereditary by long
I lipase. Few sorts of animals are moresusj
ceptitile than cattle of being moulded Into
| what, we want: no physical quality is so ea?d]
ly trained and developed as that of giving
! milk. It is a function which, constantly varying
of Itself, can be dwarfed or extended at
I will, liy means of careful training, kind
treatment anil intelligent breeding it can be
(leveloped and madeheieditary; an opposite
system keeps it In a state of nature. The
I habits of a cow and the food she receives have
a great deal to do with her milking powers;

Tlie practice of hand-milking lias nil along

The ewes of the I.arzae breed of sheep, from

Extravagant Praise.
[J. Jl. in Amoci'ifv Reformed Prrxbi/tcrimi.]
In these times of excess and running into
; extremes, the public prints often misled us In
i the forming of a correct estimate of men and
I of things. Letter-writers, lecturers and sometimes
editors indulge in eulogistic notices of
professional characters, and speak of .their
' persons and performances In teimsof uninerI
lied commendation. It. "may be flattering to
the pride of a man to lie lauded to the skies
land to be represented as "tome great one."
] but II' possessed of ordli.ary capacity and attainments
of what benefit Is all this praise to
I him! It pull's him tip with conceit, chiles
I him with a spirit of siif-suflle|ency, and begets
in him such an air of self importance as
j to render him offensive to otIters,
I If a student In a eolleg makes a speech, are
we obliged to represent, him as being another
I Cicero or Demosthenes? Would It not be bctjtertosiiy
that the composition and theelocu1
tion were creditable specimens for a youthful
| performance, ami furnished to his friends a
| basis oil which lo build a hope that, with some
attention to oratorical rules, he might, at a
future day, attain some distinction in that
! line of things.
I If a new preacher makes his appearance In
the community must we, in noticing his sermons,
launch out Into panegyrics, and proI
nounce him a Chalmers, a Hputgeon, or a MaI
son, or alWhllelield, and as having actually
! surpassed any who had filled that pulpit before.
A Juster criticism would be, that the
j reverend gentleman delivered a series of discourses,
and "so spake" that a good Impres|

Xotos nn Corn and Fodder Corn.
Corn, over a large part of thooountry, is late

risk of Its being touched hy frost before cutting
up, yet many will take it. Simply cut

! IIt'?KiNr:.?1There is no farm work In thedoI
Ing of which there Is so much difference In
{ men as in this. One man will husk two ImshI
els while another Is husking fine. Kmploy
J good hnskers, and pay them l>y the bushel. If

j to be left, in tho field.
) Seed corn should he saved while hulking. If
nol before. Take one perfect enr from stalks
I bearing two or more, throwing it-to one side
1 with I he hnslc attached. A perfect enr has all
I rows perfect, a stna'l butt end. the cob well
; tipped out with grain and covered with husks,

j 'jood for the corn. If well covered with boar,ls

! chance ut It, tint what the poultry take Is not
lost. a'id the vermin can be kept down by cats
i and terriers.
j The price of corn Is likely to rule high, and
i it Is certainly worth while to prevent all loss
; of this valuable food by unusual c:ire.
Wiion to Apply Manure.
I The common practice Is to car' the manure
! from the barn-yard once a year, usually In the
spring. In this way the haulinglsdonc when
ot! cr work is pressing, and while the ground
| is soft. It, is better to draw out the manure
; exposed in open yards, as it accumulates, and
; drop It In heaps In the fields where It Is to be
| used. With the best facilities for keeping Ihc
! manure?Hint is, ?lib a barn-cellar? there is
i levy loss in keepim. ' under cover, and when
I rotted, apply it to tb. ground Just at the time
j when it will be of the most benefit to the crop,
i Manure Is considered as so much capital u-ed
In ?rr<?wing the crop, and bears interest only
j as it. Is used by the plants. If beets or fur:
nip* need the most manure in midsummer, it
! is economy to apply It then, provided there is
j the proper facility' for making, storing, and
I turning out this valuable fertilizer every
month In the year. fSras-p lands can make use
jof manure at nearly all time-, and upon these
it may be spread in winter with economy of
^ labor and excellent results.
