W'o believe i.Snt nn nm-Ierf,; .Ttuli;^. in wli'iso heart tuero scorns to be an entire absence of Litternes.s toward t!ie negro. The on!v inconsistency that we noticed in Lis riiargcs was in liis sentenco of a negro who had been convicted of ";iss:m!t and *iattery" t<> mouths in 1'iepcnitcnti>iri/ or t<> pay n tine <>f fifty dollars," while a vhite man who had been convicted of ' 'assault and battery of a high anil aggravated natu?e," was .sentenced to "four xwnths in l/ie coutiiy jitfl or pr.\ a tine of fifty dollars.*' \Ye do not pretend to say that the conviction in either ease was just or unjust, as we did not hoar either trial, -ami of the action of the jury an outsider can givo no intelligent expression of "c^inion. but the action of the .Indue is j r.t down in black and white, and in a flain and unmistakable way. Another matter upon which we would remark is the great difference in sentences for carrying concealed weapons. Koine Judges send such persons to the penitentiary, some to the jail, while others get elf with a fine of a few dollars. The law in our opinion should be spc-' cific, pud in every case tho pains of the law should be equally inflicted by every ^udire in every part of the State. There were, we believe, very few crises 5n our last Court which should not have been disposed of by the Trial Justices who sent up the cases. The Trial Justice viio is incompetent to try a negro lor' Mealing a hog, should resign his office.: **or this reason, wo think the law should require those officers to dispose of such case#, even if he were not allowed to send *he head of a dependent lamny to penitentiary for a year, or as the Saluua Argns would have it. for a term of years. "With becoming respect for the opinions 'of some of the learned Judges as to the in-! citttso of crime in Soutli Carolina, we; would express a different opinion. If Ihey have sat on the Bench, wo have read the newspapers, and we claim that, leaving out murder and improper assaults on rorr.ii'c-s, that there is almost no crime in this Stale worthy the name. In liio absence of real crime our law-makers seem Xo lia\ o been ?u.xio:is to do soinothingextraordinarily g>?><i, and for t!tis reason have gone so far as tir make the stea'ing: of a watermelon a penitentiary offence,? *md if the truth were known we doubt not some of these grave Legislators in their youth were guilty of this same in-, discretion for which they would now i K nd men to the penitentiary. In a recent number of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian, we find tne following paragraph, which wo think i* Svorthy of though*. Shall we ruin a citizen, even if he is a negro, and technically ! guilty of some offence against fooli-h Statutes? The folio r;h?g in what the JPresbylcvitui says: "There seems to he a call for k thor-! ough revision of the penal codes of this. VI/UUIIJ. 1 111; I'lH' .m, ..i _ on a community those \v!i<> have been fori rears in tin* penitentiary, and who^ecdu-j ration in wickedness Iris been going on steadily during the whole time of confinejTiont, certainly needs to b-j changed. ! N'ot only are t!io s;imc crimes repeated,! but others of a character nvire daring and henious. Take tin* familiar case of' burglary: Criminal statistics show that tiio very same criminal has been punished over and over again for this oiVeuee.; Indeed, what else can lie d.> when released? Who will give him employ-' ment? Who cares to ii**l{ him on his: premises? His badge of infamy exclude** iiiui from honest work. His record follows him from place to place as if tiie brand of Cain were on him. Even if he were disposed to mend his ways, ho would be compelled to struggle agunsl tremendous dUlictilties. 'I his U a problem which urgently demand the attention of our wise mcil and pliilanlhrop-1 ists."1 The S-.ilnJ-i Ar;/us, in its cry for von-! seance, says: Sentences I'ndku Tit k Law.?There! eeenis to bo a great diversity in the practice of our Judges, in imposing the pen-, ally and under tin* law, upon parties convicted before them. The law, in attaching a penalty to crime, fixes its minimum j and maximum limits, so r.sto provide for the nio?t flagrant as well as/lie most ex-1 tenuated case, and the Judge istoexevci.se a sound discretion between these extremes. It is, indeed, as much a violation of the spirit of the law, to impose; none at all. One of the circumstances of aggravation which, we think, should invnko the extreme tienaliv of the law. is the increasing prevalence of crime. Tlsr3>rescrvat!(tn of s-wiety i? tlie objec; *Tiim?u al, and uot fo much the mercy ( .which irtar be claimed f??r the prisoner. | %VHy dn men commit crime at all. except for tho want of sullieicnt restraint, ami "L ?,?~J v ice, to which expression istfiven in some form of crinv*. These remarks are sujiKested hy what is regarded the very moderate sentences imposed at tho lust t?rm of onr court. Some of llio Judges' Are probably up to t!ie full measure of the requirement of tho times, but the majority of them are too lenient. ami it is an inteiesting inquiry to determine how far ' tbey may be responsible f >r tiie increase r>f -crime: at any rate, until the full measure of the law is meted out to criminals, itis imp^ssiliie todetcrmine whetlier the failure to check crime is chargeable I to an inst'ffleienev in the law itself, or to * the manner of its administration. In reply to tho expression of the J 177 a* about "leniency," which has never been Ahown, so far as we have been informed, tve would say that an unmerciful sentence is a greater crime against the county, than petty larceny, tho currying of a pistol, or ?lio knocking down of un offender. Wo believe that somebody on some occasion said that tlie certain'!/ of punishment was tho best preventive of crime, j??d 8i^<r>*ii^jt time every man who alM?'' others fo. think for him bus V&-?-- - been saying the same thing. The idea j a,-."' lias been stereotyped in the public mind, *nd it may be inferred from their verdict that members of the juries who tiy -n-rs have heard the remark. On tin* subject of ccrtuinly of punishment, wo trust th.it wo may be allowed to quote the remarks of an eminent teacher before the Teach era'Association at Athens, < icorgia. He says: "Authority should wear the nir of an ?asy confidence. I have h"m*d it said often that certainty of punishment is better titan severity. 1 will toil you what is bet-J for than either: itis uncertainty of pun-! ishment. Certainty hardens. The idea' that the teacher should have the right to puniah, hut should try and avoid it, has | fteen much approved by school autlori-1 licv*. I am trying harder every day to Judge children bv their intention, and I . cordially indorse Governor Seymour's1 experience, 'The longer I live tiie fntt- r opinion i have of people's hearts, and the . poorer of their heads.* " In further proof ol the falsity nf the assertion that it is the certainty of punishvteiil that restrain*, we hope that ? o may he allowed to mention tho action of tho great miiitary ueuerais 01 uie war. ???r Relieve that it does not occur of record where a Gen end could find reasonable technical or other grounds for disapproving the death sentence that he did not do " 5o. And it may be remembered that 011 various occasions all prisoners confined j in guard houses, whether under sentence j or not, were ordered to be released. I The C. l\ G. & C. Ii. R.

Ordinarily tlie patient recovers from measles without injury, but the most serious results may follow the slightest error in the medical treatment or *n the r?re \vlii<*!i is taken of the patient during sickness and convalescence. It is idle to talk of any physician curing measles. That cannot bo done. The disease mu-t run its course and although the patient who is sick of measles is in a critical condition, yet as a rule, he survives without evil results, except in c;r-"s where some of the laws of health are . iolated liy either the patient, the nursv, >r the physician. I,c* U not be forgotten, when diarrlirca ocepjr after measles, that it is caused from tV.:?" irritation of the bowels, which is jucidcM to the disease, and that If calomel or other strong medicine is taken into the system, the chances for recovery are against the patient. In no case should a patient sick of measles, take strong medicine, and the vafer plan is to take only the least quantities of the most mild medicines. In no disease can the patient stand less experimenting and fewer mistakes than in measles.

The Corn (Juoslion We do not lieiir anything of late from those iwicul!ural editors who so often advise the farmers to "plant more eorn." The folly of such advice is strikingly exemplified by the present condition of the crops. While tin' dry weather ha* not materially injured the cotton, and it is' flowing off linely, the little upland eorn that was planted is barely alive and will scarcely return the seed that was put in the ground. This is a cotton country, and the farmers know it. There should I di versified fanning; hut corn cannot bei made a staple product with us. It is a waste of land and labor to plant corn on uplands. What our farmers need, as a. Has?*, is more grasses, more small grain, moro cattle and sheep?and more .system in farming operations.?.Xcubcmj ObWlWf.

We have no information as the results of lah ?r ou the farms in Newberry, but we would say that wo have never known an !

We have in Abbeville county enough bottom lands to raise all the corn that we need, and we have thousands of acres of uplands suited for the grow ill of oats, in the Spring wo urge the planting of corn. In tlio Fall we favor the sowing of small grain. If this course shall bo "folly" in ilie sight of our Newberry eon temporary, wo would only say in reply that theoretical farming in Newberry may produce results entirely different from those which follow actual experiment in Abbeville. ? <?> ? railiifcl are tl-e Wounds of a Friend.

Bciii.s from Kerosene. Tho number of deaths that occur from the careless handling of kerosene oil is surprising, and the little heed which our people pay to the frequent warnings which they get against the careless holding of this dangerous explosive, is still cnrnriaiii r.

Children so horn are in-' varibly cross, and, at least during babyhood, weakly; it sometimes happens thai natural I causes, such as healthy air and abumlant food overcome these untoward beginings, but it is1 oftcnerthe case that, weakly manhood and womanhood follow, to say nothing of weakly intellects. Von are yourselves to blame for much of this, because of false pride or false delicacy, j Your husbands and fathers think voit do rest ! when you need ii,and if there is more work tlinn can possibly bo kept tip, they are sure j yon do; if there 1.: a 'button ofT" any where,; or breakfast or dinner late, it must he because ; you were taking your comfort regardless of t theirs, and for fear of this unjust conclusion,! as well as for love of order and itpprobalioti, j you hurry up the work when you can hardly j drag your feet along, and you sit up nights while lie is resting and you rati hardly hold the needle or keep your ryes open to sew buttons on, eie. When at last your hour of rest is supposed to have arrived the chances are that you have a sick or fretful baity to care for or are otherwise distui bed. Km these and a thousand other reasons its Important you should have your resting spells during tlie working hours; hul. I think, I hear you exclaim: "Where are l hey to come from when there arc already not enough hours for the work that has to he done?" i admit the case looks discouraging, yet, If you will ke'-p your i wits about you, we tt'a.v lind it not helpless. To hegin With, you must positively refc.scto take upon yourselves some parts of the work . that, during the busy times, are too apt to i slip into yourportion, such as carrying slop* to calves and pigs, gathering vegelaiiles for the tabic, weeding the garden; none of these things should fall to the woman's lot under any circumstances, and busy season for one means the same for the other. If water litis to be lugged from any distance, stipulate for ; the men to tiring it before leaving the home: j have a barrel ready lo hold what you need during their absence; insist upon the wood ' being laid beside the cooking stove so that you need not. stop when ,*ou are busiest lo ] run out through the sun for it and. perhaps, have to split or cut it: nil these things are strictly men's work : don't he too aeeomnio-j dating when there is a question as to whose ! legitimate work it may be, such as milking ! the cows, feeding the chickens, etc. If you ; have the time and don't mind it, these are not hard to do, but if onec accepted, there is | no getting on- of.lhem later, when, through ; uncertain health or bad weather, they bccome hardships. Having acocplKl the situation of things, with these un.ierstandinas. bring the other work Into slmpo in order to avoid as fur as I possible conflict 'if duties. It is, no doubt,! hard to do this if you are subject to Interrup- j tions from the haps and mishaps of children : .vet. if you cany a stout heart and cheerful ! ben rim:, the children may often be drawn in- | to interested observation or seeming helpful-, ness instead ot dropping your work to soothe their sorrows. What is chiefly needed is the judgment as! to when you need re>t and lliecoura-'C Intake i it. Sotnewiii.no doubt, laugh at the idc:i of ] coil rage being rciuiivcl for such a purpose,. but it Is no laughing mutter; there are plenty j of women who think themsclvis subject to I unjust criticisms, whether it is so or not, and ' they do not fancy being call< d lazy or self-in- J diligent, or by any other of ihe ill-natured ! construe)ions to which they are liable.

The plan is thus outlined : "Acting on the belief that the farm is not vufilciently attractive, lie proposes to erect a ; huge dancing lia!i on Ids farm and at hast | once a month he will have a free conceit with music and lemonade, free and plentiful for all. rndouhtedly lie has struck the key to success. The humdrum of farm life is get- i ling too monotonous for the average darkey, j and as a consequence they flock to town, where they can >ce ami hear the Inspiring i music of the bands, join in I he procession, go | to the plc-nies. drink lemonade and soda water ami have a good time generally. Thnat-j traction of free watermelons ami low chick-' en roosts are not slromi enough to overcome! tlie allurements of city life, and the natural . consequence is a never ending gravitation to the towns. The North Carolina man lias evidently struck the rinht string. The idea of a genuuine 'blow out' at least once a month > will prove an attraction yrcaler than anything else that has as yet. been thought of." This is adapting an ancient custom to modern exigency?the pouring of new wine into an old bottle. The Roman proprietors and master.* hit upon a similar device and for II, ,. ,.,,.1 'I'll a*' Ix^lllilto.l Ii'iii/m it hirc'iist'i, which we freely translate; free-lur.oh and monkev shows.

The man who could give the most bread a nil circus became at times, the most dangerous demagogue. It would heodd if the tanners of North t 'an>11 na entered intoaspir-, Ited contest fur the possession of neuro labor i hy halts of lemonade, s<da water and Un ss: bands. The upshot would boaperpclual pic-' nie or a general ehaos. No douht if planters made tlivir plae? s more attractive the negroes would not wander to the towns so promiscuously. Humane treatment, good wanes promptly paid ami industrious example will presumably prove as seductive as lemonade and shin-digs. We await calmly the results of the latest alleged North Carolina new departure. About Advertising. If you c:in arouse curiosity hy an advertisement it is a ureal point trained.

The Kiine writer insists (hat reform as well as correct ion should enter Into all prison life, and ii is a matter of history timl not a few men have, by philanthropic methods, expiated the error of tin ir waysand changed a prison garb for the honest raiment of useful citizens. ,\ warden is quoted as saying that he "never knew a character so depraved that it. lid not possess some ledcenumr trail; or a heart so hard that it did no', contain some hidden sprtllir, thai wnlllll open it in uir vniru of tcmli rncss ami love."

Hatlier it is, "In which pursuit may I most surely and ellVetivelv serve my Saviour and Lord?iu wliieh work most honor Him who gave Himself forme?" And been use this is the meaning of it, the choice of a profession becomes, to the christian, a far more serious matter than it Is to others. The qin s!ion is not simply If he may not misinterpret and disobey the will of his Master. It Is a sad tlilng to taken life-course for which one has no Illness ami in which he has no success. Il isa far sadder thing to pursue a pathofereat pleasure and honor, if it is a turning aside from the course which the Master had pointed out for us. Theyoung man who feels iho gravity And responsibility of his choice?a< a choice that he must make not for hini<eif alone but for Christ?will v:i v his (Ir-t cinsldeRiiion to the ministi.t. That is the calling in which he can most closely imitate Chiist himself, in his work ; in which,as ('lirist served the Father, we may serve Christ, i inr I.ord was himself a minister, a preacher of the gospel. With great cheerfulness and alacrity he chose and discharged the oflice.

For other reasons is il true, as the f-'cripture emphatically declares. Unit, "he who ihsireth the oflice of I.Miop desire! ha good work." In the view of the Christian man, with the light of Christ's example and word and v.ith the :<im t:? serve Christ, there Is no other profession that can stand at all on a level with the ministry of the gospel, its claims are pre-eminently Christ's claims.

W. M. Clark, lie planted the entire amount, and wrote concerning It. so that the seed sold fof from tlirceand a half to flvedoilarsa htisliel. Ii has taken precedence of all other vai letles. T.ast year the lieinirtment at Washington sent out- a new variety, called "pearl millet." Tt has proved, however, to he a variety that has been planted for many years in the extreme Southern States, and is of but little value unless cut as a irroen forage.
