Let it! l?e remembered that the stock was laid in ' l>y Mr. \V. '1\ McDonald, whose taste and skill is acknowledged everywhere. The Marten Merchant and Farmer. This excellent newspaper has been en-, larged to a nine column paper, and hast the progressive spirit to such an extent! as to face the prejudice which exists against patent outside*. That newspaper did a wise thing in adopting the patent outside plan. The whole energy of its publishers can now be directed to the printing of the local side, and a paper can in this way be made much better than ifi the publisher prints both sides. We ex- ; tend our best wishes for the success of, the Merchant and Farmer. There is room for two good newspapers, when one poor could not live. Kailrond Map. We are indebted to Capt. J. W. I'errin i for a copy of the splendid map of the j Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago j Kail way, showing the directness of the! route, and the value and importance of the projected Railroad. The work of ^pFcpnration seems to be steadily progressing, and we begin to believe that the work or shovelling dirt will soon begin. No projected railroad in the South is of su?h vast importance to tho whole country, 'arid all public spirited citizens in list' watch with interest the development of events looking to its completion.

His Honor Ji'dok Wallack granted the Virginia Home Insurance Company a new trial in the suit brought againsti them by Mrs. Murray. We intended to have something to say in a general wav on the subject of insurance, but will defer the matter to another time. Thk Keoicec Courier has concluded to; stop the Adger College quarrel, as far as! that paper is concerned. We think this! action wise. It seems to us that the public of Walhalla must be tired of hearing a lot of preachers calling each other liars. I f Thk Orangeburg Times and Democrat proposes to guess at Editor Bailey's seed J Lir?if ho will furnish dimensions of said ; Kir. To this we object. We are interested j ii getting that feed cutter, and the T. & , i). must go it blind?if lie wants to guess.: Thk young ladies of the village are in- j Vited to the picture gallery, whero they ?an get the prettiest pictures ever made of tho prettiest ladies in the world.

Mr. W. E. Heard, of Hodges, is in town. The merchants here arc filling up their shelves with new goods. Oscaii. Ninety-Six I)o(s. A phosphate inspector and a revenue officer created a little ripple of excite-! rnent on the current of affairs in Ninety- i Six last week. Nobody was hurt, however, not even frightened, on the principle, I reckon, that "the righteous are as bold as a lion." The Baptists have recently had their commodious church ceiled, and, under the artistic touches of the painter, Mr. (j lymph, its interior now wears the aspect of elegance and taste. The church has been for some time without a pastor, having mado a number of fruitless calls. Thev have abandoned all hone of nettimr! a "ready-tnado" preacher, ami havo late- j ly .sent to the factory in Louisville to have j one "made to order." The few*days of sunshine last week! brought out a multitude of horieultur-i ists, some of whom, to my certain know!- I edge, know as little about the art as they i know of the art of embalming. To some j households in Ninety-Six the time-lion- j ored and savory "hog-jole and turnip greens," "pork and beans." "peas and nee" would be three unknown quantities in the equation of life, if it were not! for a merciful and beneficent Providence, aim experienced mothers-in-law. The Ninety-Six High School has three: teachers, all of wlnm are College grad- j nates, young and active. There are be- : twen 7"> and SO scholars on the roll and still they come. The pupils are diligent, ] ami an excellent sentiment and high' moral tone pervades the school. An ad- j dilional room recently built, enlarges tliei capacity and increases the convenience of j the school house. No village in the State i-an boast of belter school facilities than Ninety-Six. The guano agents arc not quite so fleet j of foot, voracious, sagacious and insatia-j bly rapacious as the mad dogs of Laurens j county, but thev are about as numerous. Let those who have been bitten by both I .vlwitlinn tlin !i<r<tnr or lliniloir .should bo most <1 raided. Everybody is complaining of the had weather. To those who are of a philosophic turn of mind there is some consolation in the adage that "that rustic path-j way ia indubitably longitudinal that has : no circumvolutions. Mr. T. C. Stuart raised enough turnips; last year to feed bis stock through the winter, and lias one hundred bushels to sell. Dr. K. G. Martin has bought a dwelling! house in Ninety-Six, and has moved his j family here. He expects to practico den-; tistry in town and vicinity. - | PHOCEMX. I .V Most Interesting Letter from that Point. Edi'or Picks nntl Bannc.r : You ask for *M >fcs," f >r news from all j par's of the county, and I see tlioso rail- j way villain get far ahead of lis in hear-' iu;? and telling news. t'ould yon exist eight miles from the '1 railroad? Well, I'hcenix docs, and it is j; not surprising that we have little news to , tell without a Court House, or a depot to' lounge around, ora bar-room to engender j ?incidents. We will just have to air our j self-importance once in a while to keep' from being forgotten. We have a Methodist and a Il tytist j church in easy reach, which have tiieir' pastors seltleU near, kcv. Air. .Mcauors ;i:nl Kcv. J. S. Jordan who set us a good j example and preach tin* truth. Two j evergreen Sunday schools which meet!1 every Sunday, with fluctuating numbers! in the Winter, luita fair attendance, even ,! for l>ad weather. Two stores arc within a mile of each i other, kept by obliging merchants', Mr. jj Milton Gains and Messrs. LaKC and Stall- i J worth. A tri-weekly mail, which prom ft ly JI brings us stale papers and letters. Could j i you railroad folks stand that? Phoenix ' does. j Two white schools flourish in thoj' vicinity under the care of two faithful I lady teachers whom the children love, 11 and some of their big brothers too, as|j Valentine's Day proved, they say. Oats have not been so largly sown as in I 1SS1, but sufficient is in the ground to make our farmers feel easy. Severe weather in December and January pre-11 vented the finishing of oat crop and picking out all of the large crop of cotton, j Trie latter is hardly yet completed, al- | though the bright dry days of last week i helped farmers and laborers. Some pick ' at Tacts per 100, the tedious cracked bolls, ] and others receive half of what they pick. Delays are someti mr-s costly. Now i that we have no fences to keep up many 11 an extra acre of branch bottom is being < cleaned up. Even C'ufflp the renter, is ! begining to appreciate a full crib and theL vmIiir of outs to brimr in monev in mid- i; summer. You remember tho dream ofj Pharoah ami how the loan kiue eat up the | fat kine and were not fat. The lean year !1 of 1881 has almost consumed the fat year j j of'82, and yet so large and hungry wa< the cavenoiis body of debt, the carcass is!; not yet tilled. The emuty barns were hard to fill too, but some are yet full ofj God-bounty?we have weathered the ( pinch, if it has left onr pockets empty. ] With the same zeal to make provisions and with a moderate crop this year lion-', ors will be easy next fall. We are a hard working people and com-! pare with the best of Abbeville fanners, j if we are a little poky and t heorize where j wo onuht to act. If we do think it is!( dreadful to do anything but work, and aj waste of time to be amused. Some of our voting folks, assisted by the .scholarly Mr. j Jordan and Dr. Adams, Mrs. Caldwell, Mr. and Mrs. Brooks, Mr. Pennof Edgefield, and Mrs. Dargan formed a reading club which mot every Friday night when the weather would admit. In this way onr lads and lassies have inado a better acquaintance with tho immortal Shakeuttn-tro rwlitiir fmm thron lo livfl lllllps . with no other refreshment llin!i the social | and mental engagement afforded. Old j folks sometimes shook their heads and! said "tlioy had better he asleep so as to j do a good day's work." "'Tis nothing! hut a courting club" Ac., but the boysj work as well as ever and no body has] married yet. Girls are scarce. Send down j your maidens lair, and we'll beso jjlad to j see them. We have numbers of stalwart ( vonng men who have their names aiul! fortune to make, and a few rich old bach- j lorsand fascinating widowers To return i to that club, their anniversry was cele-1 brated a few weeks ago with an elegant: oyster supper. No guests were invited, I so I can't report on anything except a| number of enr pty cans on the roudside. I>ut ask members and guests about their Christmas supper as they grow cnthusi-j astic. Besides girls, Mr. Editor, we need a' urist-rnill in our vicinity. Our only1 water-mill has been closed lot a year and ' ; the nearest steam-mill is idle, so there is no alternative but to haul corn seven 1 and eight mib's to New Market, Trapps! Mr rtuvnro'M Ar.ll Hisikiiicr two trios to net it. so ofleu are these mills crowded. Weuld any bo-ly adviso to do better ? Sorry to hear you've lost a subscriber by your line print. I hear a good many anathema's heaped upon that.*>mall print. The young folks don't read editorials mucli?now suppose you got your patent outside set in small type and give us the i inside in lair typo, then we won't skip so many good things. The Pccsv and Banner is not a New York weekly al-j though its importance is great. Ten times as many copies of our paper are, taken to one of the Now York papers and j country folks would a little rather l>o| able to read its inside than to grumble so much at the abominable type. Endurance. 'Tis bitter toendure the wrong Which evil hands and tonuue commit; Tlx* bold encroachments of the wrong, The shaltsof calumny and wait : The scornful bearing of I he proud. The sneers and laughter of the crowd. And harder still Is It to hear The censure of the good and wise, Who, ignorant of what, you are. Or blinded by the slanderer's lies, Ijook coldly on. or puss jou by In silence, with averted eye. But when the friends in whom you trust, As steadfast as the mountain rock, Fly,and arc scattered like the dust, Hetore misfortune's whirlwind shock, Nor love remains to cheeryour fall, This Is more icrrioie inau un. But even this, and these?aye! moreCan be endured, and hope survive; The noble spirit still inay soar. Although the body fall to thrive, Disease and want may wear the famo; Thank God the soul is still the same* Hold up your head, then, man of grief, Nor longer to the tempest bend; Or soon or lute must come relief? The coldest, darkest night will end, Hope In the true heart never dies! Trust on ! the day star yet shall rise. Conscious of purity and worth. You may. with calm assurance, wait The tardy recomenseof earrh ; And e'en should Justice come too late To soothe the spirit's homeward flight, Still Heaven, at last, the wrong shall right.

In .1 late number of the former we called attention to the fact, flint.miioiits the tinnier-; ous advantages enjoyed by the South, which i must at nodistant d iy, rend.-r that the richest1 section of theeountrv, is the appreciation of the aeed of the cotton crop to the production of oil, and its more extensive employment as a fertilizer of the land. In the .V. Y. Herald we find a. letter from Arkansas, which sus-1 tains our remarks, as to tne value whicn this ! new departure is distilled to have Ujioii tlici future of the Southern states. The IlernltVa j correspondent concludes his statement with ' the following account of the successful ex-' perl men t? of a (ieorgla planter, with the, formula of a vpiy simple and cheap fc.'tillzer, I which he used : INTENSIVE l'l.ANTINO. Mr. F, Kurinun. of Milicdgeville, C!a., Is) a gentleman <?f energy and cultivation, and,! I believe of considerable means. Some years ' ago lie devoted his energy lo politics, hut lie; seen is not to have met with results satisfactory to his ambition. Then he directed the same energy to the material interest* of his section, and with a result which many persons nut ordinarily enthusiastic believe will 1 revolutionize cotton culture in tlie South.' Mr. Kurtnan caused analysis tube made of what constitutes '"cotton food"?of what the] plant draws from the ground. It scoins In- j credible, but 1 am assured it is the fact, that) such an analysis had never before been made, j or. nt le>?st. was never before practically iip-i plied. Havingsecured his analysis, Mr. man purchased sixty-live acres of ground. near MiiieUgevllle. Ho says that It was tin-; poorest cotton land to be found In thnlsccilou i with a sandy subsoil easily brought to the' surface with a plough, the growth on which | had been oak and pine. Moreover, the laud 1 had been worn out and abandoned. On these 1 sixty-five acres he was able lo raise the first ] year only eight bales cf cotto .. The next; year he applied sparinglva com post coin posed ; of rnUon-x-.-rd inrul; ari-l phnxjiluil-.

The next j year, doubling the quantity of compost, he got twenty-three bales.

This Is a lv-ttcr yield than j under the most favoring circumstances tho i alluvial lands of the Mississippi will givo to, the careful planter. Moreover, on an original Investment of less than Sl.iKHi for limit, mules and general outfit, Mr. Ftirmaii's net profit on nis .sixty-live notes will be this year not less than SJ.nito.

The youth in (he shop or counting house or store or factory, should store his mind day by day with such valuable information as relers'to his particular branch of business; the merchant. the professional man need knowledge! and explcivncc every day, which are only to j be;acquired by close attention or dlliuenti study; the wife, the mother, the daughter,! the sister. In their several positions, are In need of daily wisdom to aid them in the dis- j charge of their varied duties. Each and every | person requires tills daily growth, and shuuid j never be content without it. In our age we are too prone to think that! when we reach maturity?which comes to some, they think, very early In iife?that thenceforth there is nothing mote to learn. When the student leaves school, or the apprentice linshes ids time, or the clerk attains to full wages, they are apt to think 'uat their! days of learning are over and henceforth they | have only to rest upon I lie acquired knowl-j edge they have, and that will carry them through life; but they will soon lind that they | have made a great mistake. No person ever reaches the age or position In this life where | they have nothing more to learn, and it is a ! well known met, that in every department of learning, or business,the man who bydllli-j gent application and closestudy has made the j hightest attainments, is the man who will' acknowledge that he has still much to learn, and who bends every energy towards additional acquirement!;. The man who boasts that lie has finished his education, or learned his trade, or acquired a thorough knowledgeof business, isa fool, and the world knows It. If he does not. There never was a finished education; there never i was a trade learned so completely that there was nothing more to know, and there never was a business so thoroughly master* d that there remained nothing more to acquire conI ceinlng it. Aw it is with individuals, so is It with communities. Every village, town, city or nation I should strive, in their several ways, to ad-! vanee in religious, moral, educational and. social acquirements. It Is the duty of every good citizen to aid in building up and strength- j cuing anything which is calculated toim-j prove the morals ami elevate I he tone of society i especially that of the young, and it Is equa ly ] their duty to oppose thinly and effectually everything which has a tendency to demoniUvoor <l?<>ru<ii> xiiHi>tv unit i-11 use lnlurv to! (hose who are young and inexperienced In the ways of the world. The town which Is noted lor Its advancement In learning, piety and morality, in sought alter by the beat people as u desirable place of residence and :?proper plaee In; which to bring up children, while that community which is noted for Its lack of these advantages, where ignorance Is on a par with knowledge, rowdyism with gcntllity, and where the young is eucouragcd In all sorts of hurtful entertainments.calculated to demoralize and degraJe them, will be shunned by the best people. who would not cast tbelr lot In such a community. For chappen Hands.?One of the ensleast nnd simple*t remedies Is found in uvery store. 'Jake common starch and grind it to the smoothest powder. Take a tin box and fill it with starch thus prepared so as to have It contlually at hand for use. Then every time the hands are taken from tiie suds or dish-water, rinse them thoroughly in clear water, wipe them, and while they are yet damp rub a pinch of the starch thoroughly over them, covering the whole surface. The etfcct Is magical. The rough smarting skin is cooled, soothed and healed, bringing and insuring the greatest degree ofcomlort ami freedom from this by no means insignificant trial. We know many persons formerly afflicted with hands that would chup until the blood oozed from many minute crevices, completely freed from the trouble by the ose of this slj)le remedy. Southern Farms Jtnd Fariu Stock. This Is the way Mr. Daniel rennet t, the [Agricultural editor of Ilia New Orleans i'.ca' i/ioic puts forth his views: i 11'Sou i hern fanners were out of debt and I prosperous, iihd farm stuck always In irood ! condition and well cared lor. the Southern | people of all honest railings and professions would also he prosperous as a natural conseI queuce. Then everybody has a personal | inler.tst In I lie prosperity of fanners. Ti e only I.ope of Southern farmers Is In continually fci icrlizlng their lands, and In providing good pastures. water, sin Iter and winter too*I for their stuck. Impoverish* d fields mid starved, sheltei less stock, will keep farmers and Ihcir children poor ti the end of lime. Fertcrlizcrs pay even applied to rich lands; without fertilizers poor, worn out lands are not worth ten cents uu acre. What most Southern fanners need Is a thorough st 1 rrinir upon these two vital iiuestloos ol nunc fertilizers ami better trialinent. of stock?not merely lectures and essays on the subject, tun strong appeals to thein to take right hold and do something more than merely to admit that these things are so. I fall of our Southern agricultural Journals would take hold of these matters and continually insist tout farmers commence putting them in practice at once, and it all Moodier journals would assist in raising such si bree'/.e upon these agricultural reforms as they usually raise when they want to waft a ...It J f.. Southern amleulturc would rise fruui it* ashes and flourish like a green bay tree. I,ct Southern lawyers ami politicians give more attention 10 the agricultural Interests, and llii'ir talents-and skillful iniiiiaiieinent anil Influence would greatly stimulate farmers to g<-t out of the old ruts and timl a better trnelc. Merchants call have great Inlluenee with lurincis, and should study elosc'y the farmer's Interests. Meehanies and everybody else should urge the importance of the changes we have mentioned, tor they all indireel partners In connection with the soil. II by these united and potent.influences the present farming population of the State C'liild he led to make two bushels of potatoes and of oats, and two tons of hay, and two hales of cotton, where thev tnade hut one, the state would be rich and prosperous nt onee; and we verilv believe that the farms of the South In less than live years could be made to double their agricultural paoducts, with no addition to the labor whatever, but by fertilizers anil better husbandry. - ? Rlnck Walnut Leaves as a Itcmody in Scrofulous and Cachectic Affections. Hull's Journal of JfrrtUh.] Dr. Orlando l\ I'ar<|uhar. of Zancsvlile, 0., brings to the notice of the profession thegreut medicinal value and curative properties possessed by the leaves of the common black walnut. lie says: "I am personally cognizant of very many eurcs that an Infusion of the leaves ol the common black walnut lm< performed after the skill and prescriptions of many excellent physicians had signally failed. This remedy litis never, to my k nowledire, failed locureorgrcally benefit whenever used. That is say In-; a great deal for walnut leaves, and yet.such is the truth; and 'facts and llcures are stubborn things.' My father, l>r. K. A. Farquhur, Sr., has continuously used this rcmedv for the la*t ouarter of a century. With si reputation and"practice coextensive wllli the boundaries or the suite, he had frequent opportunities for testing the virtues of the remedy. Asanalterativeand depuratlve, piis.-essin^ marked powers in the cure of all scrofulous and cachectic uirectlons. Its value has often been demonstrated. Syphyllllc ulcerations and squamous disease of the skin soon yield to the effects of an infusion of the leaves of the blaek walnut. (,'hronlc uleers of the Indolent kind have b. en cured with this remedy, after every other remedy hail been i exhausted wlehout benefit. Our plan has been ' to wash the parts adected, If external, two or : three times dully with the infusion, and at! thesanietime (tike It InternuPy. In eases of svphylis, I often combine oraddio the Infusion an alcoholic solution of hydrargyrum i corroslvum, with good results. "M. Neerier, professor of tlie school at An-1 ecrsin 1-Sll, published an interesting memoir! on the use of walnut leaves In scofuln. which , he regards, alter numerous experiments, a*; one of the best anti-scrofulous remedies Mint I we possess. M. Xcurler, as well as several | other medical men at Aneers, had lontr been in the habit of employing a decoe'atlon of! walnut leaves as a lotion for scrofulous sores.' "M. Neurier concludes Ills memoir wllh the following directions for the preparations of walnut: The infusion is made with an ounce of leaves to twelve ounces of boiling; water. It may be sweetened with sujiaror the sirup pre-entlv to be noticed. Two or three cupfuls may be civcn dally, or even five. The deputation Is made with a handful of leaves boiled fifteen minutes in a quart of water. The extract may be made In the usual manner from the dried leaves. For the strnp eight grains j of the extract arc mixed with thirty-two sent-1 pies nf eotrillion sirup; inlants mid young; children may talce two or thr?-e teasponnfuls : in the day; adults three drachms. The pills i may n? made of the extract, four grains In; each ; from two to four in the day.' " I'm Growing: Old. HY J. (1. SAX K.
