* there was nothing to prevent h?r irom en-1
paging In any pursuit, in which a man j
can engage. Judge Cothran thought that'
with the investiture of the light to hold prop- 1
<ert.v In her own right. that her right of dower |
should be limiteil to the real estate of which |
her hushand might he seized at. the time ofj
his death, and ttiat contracts for the transfer j
of property from the husband t'l tlie wife,1
should tie held valid only when such transfers
were made at the time when the indebtedness .
nccrued. This, becomes by delay, a door left;
open to fraud. Mr. l'arker thought the law I
might very well stand as it Is. ('apt. Tionham I
thought that there was no question as to her
legal right to ungate in any pursuit she might
ch?o*e; the only question was as to what profession
society would tolerate in a woman.
Jl? believed that ott er nvcmies to work j
should tie opened to her. Mr. llanckel tools
the part of woman and thought that she deserves
the greatest honage front man. and
that he should protect lierlroni the hardships I
of lite. Mr. P.enct thought that a married!
women ordinarily found enough to do at
home; that the husband was the breadwinner.
and that the wife was the bread dispenser.

Death of Jaco'i liurz.
Mr Jncoh Kurz of our town died last Fti- '
day night, altera lingering Illness, agodi'.t,
years.
Ho was a native of Switzerland, emigrated j'
to this country In is">2? landing in New Vork.
lie afterwards settled on theSavnnnah sideoi 11
Abbeville county near Mt. Carmcl. whore he 1
tollowed the occupation of shoe-maker until
the breaking out of the war, when he Joined (
Captain James M. Porrln's com puny, (Co. B. >
1st S. ('. Hi Acs. Orr's Regiment") Ho was a '
faithful and gallant soldier, always at the
lH?Bl of duty, no matter whether In the vary- 3
Ing and trying scenes of war or in the peaceful
pursuits of life. On the 3d of May, 180:2,
lie fall at Chancellorsvillc, shot through i
the lungs by i; minnle ball, and all supposed.
Mortally wounded. But a strong constitution .
nnd ail indomitable will, in a large measure,
overcame the dangers to which he was subjected,
and he was somewhat restored to his s
normal condition, though ho always sutlcred
from the etrects ol the wound, and It Is al- n
legi-d that it had such et'eet on his heart and I
lun^s as t<? cause bis death, even at this late j
day--nearly twenty-three years inter rccetvIn:
t he injury.
Mr. Knr/. became aciti7.cn of Abbeville village,
in !Kj7. where he lias lived ever since at
pence with his neighbors ami enjoying tiieir
c ?nthlcnee and good-will. He was the owner
of a shoe shop iu town, and also owned the
village tun yard. Active and industrious, ho
leaves a wile and one son, and a step-son, all 1
well provided for in this world's goods.
He whs a zealous member of Clinton Lodge ?
of Ancient Free and Accept Masons, and bus '
missed very few meetings of Mint body within
the last fifteen years, ami as ? mark of re- r
i?peci. to their deceased brother. tlie members I
?>f Ihe Lixlge turned cut as a body, and paid 1
tiieir fraternal respects to him at the funeral
and burial services.
The bnrial services were conducted in the 1
Methodist Church, and he was deposited in '
Upper Long Cane Grave Yard, in the presence
of a large company ol friends who will -s
respect his memory. c
In February, ISis. lie joined the Knights of
Honor, at Abbeville, anu that, body will pay r
to his family tin? usual fee, S'J.OiK), which that J
fraternity pays to the families of its deceased '
members. '
A Prosperous Citizen. *
Mr. 0.1*. O'Neall. of Greenwood, Is a prosperous
lurmer, ami furnishes one more evl- |
dence of wliat can be done iu Abbeville. Sev- t
oral years ago he bought one of the poorest N
farms in the county, and now the old hills,
wiiicii were barren, blossom as the rose, and =
the owner thereof is growing rich. He plant- |
rd a superb orchard, including every descrip- ^
Hon of fruits, grapes, and berries, and noxv
his shipments are large, ntid his vineyard t
ycilds an abundance of the choicest wines, f
lie brought samples of his wines to town last r
Monday, and sotneof our citizens were so well! j
pleased with them that they cave Mr. O'Neall i;(
orders for liberal supplies. Dcsldes 1 jis supe- S|
rior fruits, grapes and wines, Mr. O'Neall I i
deals in stock, nnd can often tarnish h!sj
neighbors with the best of ntilk cows. ^
Honored X nines.
The names of Hemphill aud Calhoun have!;'

Tne former name was prominent in church 1
history, and "the lattor was prominent in the I \
noilLiejd hislorv of the countrv. and their!'

took out Hit* broken piece, and employed
Lewis Hlchey, who can make iron turn all
kinds ot shapes and colors almost at will, to
hammer and weld the Injured parts, when
Mr. Kyfnn returned them to their proper place,
and took up the line of march for Hodges l)e- I
pot somewhat later than the schedule time.
The Knights of Uouor. j
The Lodge of Knights of Honor was organ-'
fced in Abbeville. September 1S7<S. Since then \
membership has been severity?only two

bership is50, eleven of the members bavin: I
transferred their membership to oiln-r;
Lodges. Mr. Kurz had paid ?!3'J In assessments
for losses, and S'.M for dues. This lodge
lias paid In assessments.
Qreenn'ooii to llnvc Another Pnpor.
"Carolina," a correspondent of the Chronicle,'
writing from Greenwood says: "We are to;
have another newspaper published here. In- <
ginning about the 1st of February. It will!
start out under more favorable auspices than :
either of its predecessors did. The interest of j
the town demands Its establishment, and the
experience of our merchants as to the value
of an advertising medium in their midst, in-1
luces them to guarantee a liberal support to ;
the enterprise.
Xot Here.
In our notes of the last Court we noted the
fact that Vernier Adams had business in that

"Rough on Corns," etc., the poor mircrablo!'

"Kou?h" becomes a miserable cheat, and is
meaningless.

the Directors <if the Carolina, Cumberland ;l
Liap anil Chicago 1 la II road, held at Aiken on j

jess. And had made a contract with a steel
rail company to lay down in Charleston, at

Ing the Koad from Aiken in this direction.

Inasmuch jis the l?a?l weather prevented a
conference of the trustees of the public free!
schools on tlieL'lih instant, I take this wsiy of
tillering some surest Ions to them anil to all
whom it. may concern.
The County Hoard of lC\-nminors have aererd j
that the monthly pay of teachers shall beae- j
coming id graue 01 ecriiucaie, or 01 ;
school, as follows:
First (trade. Twenty Dollar-'.
Second (Jinde, Fifteen Dollars.
Tliinl Crude, Ten Dollars.
That tlio in in t in ii in average number of pupil*
per month that shall entitle a teacher to
lull pay in county schools shall lie 1"?; in in1
corporated villages ami towns 2-1. In cases
where the average number between thelites
of i> aii<l lii lulls In low the minimum the trustees
shall pay a per capita share of the monthly
pay.
liie la\v retinites (lie trustees to meet as ea''-j
ly as practicable in the year, in order to locate
the schools > in I elect teachers. This ought to.
he done before the 1st of February of each
year, so that by that time alt the schools of
the district shall have been established ami
all the teachers employed. No school ought'
to be opened after I lie tlrst week in February j
unless under peculiar circumstances. The!
apportionment of the school fund tothesev-j
eral school districts is made on the 1st of Feb-1
rnary, or as soon thereafter as practicable, j
I'nless the trustees tlx some limit to the time j
duriii',' which they will contract with teachers
of public schools,''they cannot know the number
of teachers nor their grade in time loascertain;
witli the accuracy that the subject demands,the
length of tlicschool term lor their
district. The trustees, therefore, are urged to
ascertain us soon ns the apportionment, is
made t lie length of the school term for their
district and report the same to all the teachers
and it> tlie School Commissioner. The
school term of each school of the same district,
for the time it is operated ns a public
free seliool, should be the same. The present
school year began November 1, IS8I. If, then,
the school term of any district is six months,
and a school In tlml district has received pay
for November and December, issi, such school
cannot receive pav but for lour months in
IS.--,.
There has been a great defect In tlie administration
of the school law in respect to the location
of schools. In some places the schools
ate located loo near each other. This distri-1
tuition of the forces and ellorts ol a eommunl-,
ly, as well as the distribution of the public
fund has had the ellect of shortening the
schorl term, and depriving such unfortunate
comniuniiiesof the iiillncitce and advantages
of one good, well-paid, well-equipped and well
sustained school. I recommend lo the trustees
the sentiment of a distinguished commander,
who, when asked the secret of his
success, promptly replied, "I concvntrutc my
forecM "
In some places, on the other hand, the
schools are too far apart. Thectieet has been,
probably, morcdisastrous than Incases where
the schools are too near each other. It has
lessened, alarmingly, the attendance in the
county schools, and, doubtless, smothered the
spark of (renins In many a worthy yotim.
This part or the school law is as difficult of administration
as it is important. While the
law requires the trustees to pay due rouard to
miy school house already built, or sites procured,
it also requires them to have regard to
"other circumstance* proper to lie considered
so as best to promote toe educational Interest
af thedistriet." I am disposed to believe that
there are schools in the county that ought to
be removed from their present location, and
established in places accessible to a larger
number of children who are not now within
a convenient distance of any school. Xo two
public frcescnools for tlie same race ought to
i>e within less than live miles of each other. 1
Two and a half miles is not too great a distance
from a r/ontt self ml. A very tew only will
be required to go even this distance, and they ,
can, surely, well atl'ord to do so, if, by having
lower schools, we increase the length of the term
rtinl the efficiency of those that wchure.
it is a lamentable fact, known even to the
casual observer, that In some sections of the
county there is an increasing disposition, on
the part of parents, to shift the responsibility
of their children's education from themselves,
where it properly belongs, to the public,
where It belongs only In ca*es of extreme
poverty and misfortune, or wilful neglect.
I'liey demand that 1 lie public, which exacts
from them a few dimes for school tax,shall in
return educate their children, build and repair
their school houses, ami even pay the Incidental
expenses of the school. Thlsdisposltion
ought to bo checked at every point, and
especially In the matter of building and repairing
s.-hool bouses. It Is a manifest Injustice
to the teachers to take any part of their
ulreudy too small salary and appropriate tt to
building ami repairing school houses. The
school house is a local mutter, and the community
ought to build It at their own expense.
The circumstances ought to be very
exceptional Indeed, which would induce the
trustees to appropriate any part of the public i
fund to building and rep 11 ring school houses.
I feel sure that my views on this subject will
not be well received, but I believe them to be
right, and that Is a sufficient reason for me to
recommend them to tlie earnest consideration
of the trustees.
The trustees will please sec to It that the
teacher's monthly reports are properly filled
Hit, MIC ni:uuui V Wiilillli>ri<imi i o muiimim ?v
port Is based upon these monthly reports.
Any letter conveying suggestions ami recommendations
to trustees Is essentially defective,
that does not ask llieir hearty support
in tho proper administration of the sehool
law, In raisins: the standard of teacher's certificates.
in Increasing the efllclency of tlie
?''!io'jls, In arousing an interest in the all-important
subject of properly rearing and educating
our eiiildren,an<t in making during the i

all along our own lines in the grand

How to Sake n liljy Corn C rop.
(Southern Cultivator.)
I propose to tell how I raised twenty-flvc
)U>hcls of upiand corn per acre. The plat nf.i
and was in cotton last year, and contained!
light acre-. About tho lirst of March I broke |1
tup with a one horse plow, using a long,!
hree-incl) fonher. as deep as a horse could:,
lraw it. On the 28th of March I had Ilie rows |
Irawn ofT four feet wide (on a level as near as i
son Id tie) and dropped two grains time feet
ipart, having a hand to follow dropping a|
i.andful of raw cotton seed Immediately 011 i
he corn, to be divided on two hills, covering
,vith a double-looted plow with small scooters.
The corn came up with a good stand. When
iboutsix inches high 1 gave it the first worknil
by plowing with same one horrc plow .
,vith a new three Inch gopher, putting It In
main as deep as the horse could draw it. gong
as often as nine or ten times In a row.
L'hc next thing done was hoeing, thinning,
ind re-planting. After about twelve days run i
iround the corn with a side harrow; after i
welve days, with a large sweep. I run five; I
.lines in a row. being careful to make tho Inst 11
nrrow midway between the corn. I then!
lad the red stock pea dropped, from five top
light peas threo feet apart. The peas came
tp with a good stand, and I never hoed them.
On the l ltlt of July I laid by corn and peas!
>y running around the peas with an oiehlecn- j i
ncli sweep, which completed the whole work.
My neighbors laughed at me about my wide '
inil serpentine rows, but they have ceased
heir mirth since I gathered from the eight
teres two hundred bushels of the best corn
