About Iwo weeks ago, our usually conserva- t five and even-tempered friend the Andrrson ,, hUvltigcnccr, made a publication in which , .??.* I??I^?I\A? IU-) IIW1IUIVU (JVMUl'l'Ll IUI'j '] m the Andemon Journal, for not making a more j s 9 decided stand, one way or the oilier, on tlie L I ito-liccnsc question. This article struck us at H the time as being one of '.lie most remarkable ! t B tSiot we hail ever read during a long Jour- ( H nallstlc career. The Anderson Journal, Instead of passing the article unnoticed, or thanking H 1ij? neighbor for tho kindly solicitude and I friendly interest wliicli it had manifested in M Its welfare, answered rather sharply, charg- J I Jag the JnUlliyenccr with "first advocating t "one side and then another of pnhlie ques- t ''tIon?;, according as it might appear Hie pop a H 'ular or winning side," and added a few ad- :i Jeetivea, such as "wenther-coek" and "hobby- J SS rider." The Iitelligciici"; then seems to have 0 H adopted the plan fo often taken by those who t H9 cannot make other an- wcr, and pronounced l: H the allegations of the Journal ''false." I H His no quarrel of otir>;. but as their action 1 S in a more or less decree involves the diirnitv 11 Iof Journalism, we believe wc haven right to discuss Hie action of these brethren. In the i Jlrst place, wc think the InteHigcucer was en- t tiroly wrong. The Jour/ia' iu Hie next place M need not have matte chargesagainst tlie Intel-! i Hgtnner which were irrelevant to the subject t matter i? discussion and which necessarily l brought new matter into the c?ntrove..sy, i Involving chmger. which, we think, it could Hot# sustain, even li pertinent. The IntuUiytntccr, wiihout any eilort to refute tho Jour/irti'ji chargcs or challenging It to show ? t herein it had "advocated one side and tlr-n i the other of publ'c questions," or had acted Hie part of the "wcather-cock" piouor.iicc? ! I the charges "Jaise." ! > Wc arc sorry for so hi^h-toncd a paper IJ as the AnOemuti Intclliyi-mxr to adopt any j j sucli course with any contemporary, but morel especially with a neighbor, whose good will. wouiu certainly be worth more to iiitn than his enmity. It seems a short-sighted policy in any citizen who aspires to high positions ot , honor, trust, or ollice, to make unnecessary v.ar on an inlluential neighbor whose kindly ( offices might just as well be utilized as not. With ditlei cnt treatment there is no good reason why the Journal should not be Hie political friend of the Intelligencer, even though they might be competitors in tho printing business. The Intcllifjcnccr erred In pronouncing tho assertions of tiie Journal "false" for ihe reason that they referred not to the personal act of the editor, but to the editorial publications of tho I.itiHiycncir. The record ot that paper is known of all nu n, and i I therefore its editor is not the mail to s-ay < whether the charge is false or not.. Its files ( area permanent witness,und by them weaie ; sure the Jutrlliycwr can well r.flord to statu'. ] Jf the Journal makes ft charge against thecdl- i lorial conduct of the Jn'.clligvnccr its readers]) know whether it is true or false, hut If thei| Journal f honid make a charge against the editor personally, or against his private character, then the editor might reply in fitting < terms lor tbe riasou thathis private charnc- j' irr is known tu comj arntively few n?en. Kv-1 *ry man in A t.der.on county knows the char-' deter of I he JuUl'ir/' iircr, but every body in:-.} not l.i-ow the privale or personal character of: Its editor. A paper which, for ability and! moral lone, stands a.? high as the Iul> Ihy.niwc | docs, need not show temper in its coiitrover- j] sies. It has the ability to discuss any qucs-j tion which is likely to come up, and th* won- j dev to us is, that it shouid so far forget itself, aa to insult tiie public of Anderson by pro-! iiouncins t lie utterances of a highly respect a-1 hie contemporary as "fuise," when the lutein- , ycncer unut know perfectly well that the! Journal'* reputation for veracity Is so good!, that nobody will tarltevc that it would know-'i J?a4iI>' utter a ttilsehood. however much It may i tie mistaken In opinion or fact. We venture ' to suggest that the editor of the Intel/iyeiiecr I could Und exceeding few meu in Anderson j, who would agree with It in Hie opinion that 11 rl;e Journal \\o.ild utter a -'falsehood." Tliej charge of the Intel! i;w>cer is, one which we!] think it cannot sustain, nr.d it is always a mistake to make a grave charge against the5 character of ar.y one. which i^ not abuudant-j 1 su-.tained by pn.u'' oi the fasts.

To prove lo any 0110 the necessity for a rc urvey of our ptihlio roads, it won hi l>e only .eeossary to take hint over (In* road from Abbeville Court liouse to White Hull. This Is in o'.il road over the hillicsl route which our i:v."!-;;mndfalhers could liav possil.ly fount! between these two p'jiccR.

Since the completion <?I the ?< i con wood nntl .\n;'iisla lialtroad I ho highway between Alt' hevilleand Vertlery has liccomeonc of muel ?*? ?? tlm tioonln nliinir tho route and of great Importance when the welfare o the town ol Abbeville is taken Into consider atlun. Much of the first seven miles of tlx i\?;d is almost Impassable, ami the people an thus prevented from bringing their cotton t< tiii- place, anil as a result much trade Is losl to Abbeville. While we know nothing posi!i.\ely ab.uii tile actual condition of Hie I>>?t 1?>111 s on Norlis creek from the road to hong t'.me, yet wi are Inclined to believe that 1 lie road could lu located there, at least as far as it Is eoveroi with sand. Another mutter which is of 110 small con sab-ration to the people ol the town of Abbe ville, Is the difficulty of making the trip in light vehicles to meet the trains on the An jusiaand K.ioxville road at Verdcry. It often happens that our citizens find It to theii ulvautage to take the early trains at Verdcry md the schedules tire such that persons whe meet the trains must leave Abbeville before lavish;, and return after dark. We need no| xpatiate on the difficulty of traveling rough adly worked or muddy roads during tin >i^ht tim<\ Abbeville bavins stood still and a 1 lower ailroads to be built up all around her the on y way ik.w left lor her to hold a reasonabh I'.ade is 10 see that our public rondsarc nut in assable condition. There can be no doubt hat Anderson by her supcrioi roads in the >a?.t has drawn trade from the dividing Mm telween us, which rightly belonged to Abbe ville. It is so now with Abbeville and (Jrecn ivoud l.itvacso of lite miserable roads to Abbe ulle and because of the belter roads to (J recti wood, trade has gone to Greenwood whirl kvould otherwis-o come to Abbeville. Th< nine is tinc of Verdery. Mueli trade which ivould go to Verdery if other roads were open :d. now i;ots to lireetiwood. No town can [iiosper without good roads, and we thinli [hat no man who has tried to haul a load oi [trick from one place to tho other would clain that there Is a good road from Abbeville ti White llall. The bridge at l.ong Cane will soon bo to rc )iii!d and we really hope that the t'onntj .'onmtis^ioncrs will give the subjeelof a new survey a consideration at once, before tin >ui!din/of a nowtirld;;?? at Long taae is n Kcesiity. !'??o ' S|>j?rtniilmri* Hcralil** undtlif "Xcwx nn<l Oifrler."

Next to tfcCormiclc Is Greenwood. Abbeville, VerIcry and a majority of the other towns seem o be doing but little. The salvation of Ableville, wo believe, depends upon an in..roveinent ol our highways. We must have jettor highways or sutler the loss of much nule that would otherwise come this way. The cstablishlnment of a bank at this >luce will do much for tho commerce of the own. but we need good roads nil the more.

NVylie, a vestrymen, said to your representative: "Dr. Armstrong is not crazy. He has not been 011 a spree In Cincinnati. When he reached Canada he learned that a niece was in a bagnio in Cincinnati. He Immediately returned to that eitv and began a search fur her. He found her in a bagnio and l?orsuadcd her to rot urn to her home. He gave her a ticket. lie was excited, and not drunk." The vestry have been In session sine* noon, and it Is believed he will be sustained, though public sentiment is against him overwhelmingly. Over seventy-live good citizens with whom I havci talked today believe that he lias been 011 a debauch. They do not credit his story. Since the matter has become publie, citizens here say they lmvedrank with him. Should the vestry sustain him he will never wield the same influence. He looks haggard and worn out, and remains in his room, refusing to see any one. In Cincinnati ho wore a blue suit and white slouch hat, but came back beroiu a regulation black suit. Citizens of Atlanta who are In Cincinnati telegraphed back that he was drunk and unahie to take care of himself, and that his debauch was a lively one. In a word, everybody here feels that they have sufficient pioof of his guilt. The Armstrong matter lias not yet been settled. The Doctor has not been before the vestry, but remains In ills room, refusing positively to ceo any one. The vestry adjourned at a late l our last night, but accomplished nothing leading to a settlement of the matter. Two members ol tlio vestry arc absent from the city, as Is iiIko Dishop Deckwith. Jlr. omiUittu > iiJ^u, nuvi iu mt; im-ih^iil; x can't tell what, will bo done. Even If Dr. Armstrong should lender his resignation we could not accept it now. Things arc in a tnuddlo and will remain so until the lJlshop returns. I can't say what ho will do. Dr. Armstrong acted very strangely In Cincinnati, and even if lie wns hunting for a lieice who had gone astray ho acted indiscreetly. Much sympathy is expressed for him and his family. Hundreds of Indies and gentlemen have been In to see me about it to-day." Nothing will ho done for the present. Tho excitement here Is unabated. "TRUTH IS MIGHTY AND WILL PREVAIL." A I.enrned .Judge Who Believe* that "Jliuiy Srcnos of Violence, Rlood"shed, Sadness and Sorrow Could "he Avoided if the Courts and Ju"rorw Would do their Simple, "l'lain Duty." Summervlile Herald.

The Judge referred to the daily reports of violence and lawlessness as published in the newspapersof the .state. It is saiil that "the truth may be illumed, hut it cannot 1h< shamedand ' if officers were not "frequently derelict in their duty." the law.* would not bo "violated with Impunity."

Apart from this a rolerenco to the "many" cases of violence and bloodshed in our State during the past twelve months, painfully conclusive as to the "lawlessness in South Carolina" that Tub Kecokd is disposed to ridicule. In exclaiming, as it does, "Save us from our friends," The Hecokk is reminded that the exponents of Truth . have nothing to bo ashamed of or to fear, under any . circumstances. Lightning is apt to strike In another direction. Judge Witherspooji said this "'Laws often ' become ineffective becausoone will not proceed against his neighbor so loiiir it-* the violation of the law dopp not affect him, and officers of the law are trrquentlv derel ct In their duty; hence laws are violated wltii i ti.punityand in reference to the many instances ol violence and bloodshed, the Judge said that: "From , nhat lie lead In the papers of frequent scenes of vlo lence, there must be great luck in the enforcement ol > the law against c.rrylng conccalod weapons.

Look over the paper you are taking and fee if you cannot spot just tho class 01 matter indicated. Tho HesMcr has made It a rule to refuse all advertising patronage not strictly honest ami raputable, whereby wi have missed making a great deal of money, but our patrons Rave alfO saved a good deal of theirs of which they would otherwise have been fleeced: "Wo call upon every publisher In tho United States and Canada to refuse all swindling or immoral advertisements, no mattgr what tho financial standing agent that offers them Your readers expect you to protect them, not assl.n in robbing them, aiid insulting ami corrupting their children. Kvery exper, ienced advertiser knows that It Is not worth as much to him to have his advertisement Inserted in a newspaperthat Inserts anything and everything in its columns, as the one which will only insert the advertisements ol honest llrms; hence in the end it will be r more profitable for nnwsners to shut down on ull frauds and loathsome quacks." - Free Tuition in the Koutli Carolina Colleso.

This fact seems fatal ti: , the after-thought that tiie Constitution abso i iutcly forbids tuition charges.

It seoms now a well settled ijiiesllon that tho silo Is a success, Much discussion and experiment iinve been hud upon the matter ami ttiu Uiiul conclusion in dccldely In favor of ensilage iip?>n a latin carrying niucb cnttlc. Wo are nut yet prepared to do mote than commend ensilage as proper fur cattle. It Is not so gi-ncrally agreed that it furnishes (food food for k horses, hogs, or sheep. Dr. Claude Baxley, of Fauquier county, Va., says, however, that sheep, sick and dying on dry provender, have had the mortality ?r rested when ensilago diet was substituted We would not yet advise an indiscriminate feeding of ensilage to " all kinds of stock. It remains now to be seen whctli er we will avail ourselves of the experiences of those who claim to have settled the advantages of ensilage as a cheap and excellent fond lor cows. The prlnci[' pal dlflicuity In caring for cattle properly Is met in the I winter. Hay Is subject to damage ill curing; fudder, " as gathered froin our corn-fields, is probably one of the I most expensive crops wo raise. Corn (odder, snr shum and similar crops properly cured reipiiro large barn room, continuous good weather and then they arc more or less damaged and Inferior food. Ensilage > seems to circumvent all theso trouble.*. It is Packed J j in very small space ; it can bo housed regardless of ' the weather, and, with a little care. It is afivava well " preserved ami wnoiesome. 11 rurnisnea in inni-win' tera succulent, healthful diet Inr cattle thnt wa have ' not been utile heretofore to supply. At many places | and in ninny way? ensilage has been subjected t? the > severest tests unit It Is now meeting with common fa1 vor. ' Dr. Sturtevant, of the New Turk Agricultural StaJ tlon, has reached very satisfactory results upon a comparative test In feeding dry fodder and the smuo foil| dcr us ensilage. This he summarized as follows: ' 1. More favorable to tho Wright maintenance. 2. Less dry weight required. 8. Lees water drank, 4. Increased milk yield. A slmll >r experiment has been mado at tho Mns*a' chusettA station. The quantity oJ milk whs In every Instance Increased, and the quality was not perceptii ly 1 changed. The Ensilage Congress, held in the ciiy of New York at the invitallnu of New York Plow Com| pany, collected from various sections of the country 1 the results of experiments with ensilage. More than one hundred Intelligent gentlemen gave favorn !? re! ports upon tho use of ensilage, and the Congress then passed the following resolution without n dissenting vol co: licsolved. That the observations carefully made of the system of ensilage, and the experience gained In , it:v practice during the past year, have servd to deepj en our confldcnce in its merits and have demonstrated that it furnishes more economical food than can be obtained under any other system, am! at the same I time one tint is perfectly healthful, both to the animal and the product. U i? generally agreed that 11 fly pounds of ensilage will make the best day's ration, giving twenty-live pounds at night, and a g<?vl feed of dry forage at noon, j ITpon this as a basis, it will be easy to deteimine the necessary size of a silo alter wc know that one cubic flint ,if trr.ll nr,. ?.<! pn?ltn?i> will W?Ml nhelll fiftr pound.% or one day's ration fur one cow. ]f we aro roquired t<> feed tho cow fca four months or 12o days, we ' w*ll need a M!i? that will )<< :<] KM rations or I'-'o cubic , feet. Ton cows will require a |>it containing 1.201) cubic feet. To hold this amount of ensilage it would re, quire n silo twenty feet lung, ton feet wide and ten toot deep In the clear. We would commend concrete wall as the host and ' cheapest, as they are perfectly secure and can bo made by common farm hands.

There are more and greater crimes perpetrated in the city of New Yoik in one month th'in in our State in r. twelve month, and yet we have in the negro population a more ignorant and brutal population.

How much of the fertility Northern farms,compared wi'li Southern, Is due the prominent place held by the grasses, in their en rotat'on, it is ditllcult to estimate. Sometimes i odions comparlsonjbetween the Northern and Sunt em farmer is based upon the greater productiveness tiie land of I he former. Grasses and a hard InZ'-n si during winter, by preventing the leaching away nil rales, may have as much to do with the matter energy or biains. What nature does for the North this particular we of the South must do by art. Oi mild winters, which allow the enrth to freczo only intervals and to very small depths, make It posslb for us to keep it clothed in verdure perpetually. Ai tills is just what we are now urging our farincis to d Of course we do not expect, and do not ask our f;i tilers to sow down allthelr land in grasses and ciovt A good deal more might bo seeded down to these tlii ' is now done with very great advantage.

Wo need not be at any In then for crops to cover our bare fields In winter ai early spring to counteract the lots by leaching. Where large c.ops ?f sum 11 grain?oats, wheat, b.i ley and rye?lire sown in the fall, tbev of course ser the purpose now under review. But usually the crops do not cover nil the hare land on onr farm Where corn or Cotton follows cotton the land lies bs all winter. Stubble land nlso, though covered wl weeds and grass, has no growing plants ujiou it, nn though not subject to washing as badly as clean en ton land, is equally subject to leaching. Under o present Inrin systems, therefore, quite a large propr tion of our uultivuti'd fields are in condition to lo fortlll y through leaching. How cau this t-o preven edf None of our ordinary crops can be grown < land destined for corn and cutton the following yer and be harvested In time to bo out of the way. V must select then either a forage or grazing crop, or oi fur plowing nndrr to fertilize the land. The best Co: binatton crop for all of these purposes is rye. Bow In September it will furnish fair grazing, even on po bind. O.i that which Isrl.'h, ft will lie ready to c In tline to give way either to corn or cotton.

They reCognl its value mid feel satisfied that It pars, and It Is to hoped that they will noon realize that sowing rye other wops, on hare land, will pay as much or more. There it another crop which would do well in tl connection, viz: burr clover. Sown in September completes its growth by the following May, inaturii seed and dying. It could be grazed in February ai Mirch and plowed under by tho first of April; or not grszed ir.teht be mowed in April. It Is a ve: hardy, thrifty p.ant, and once set upon land is vei apt to perpetua'C Itself.

At the present time the prospcct is promising f cood crops everywhere. 1 ho cotton yield is likely be lan:e. and this coupled with the genera! stagnatli in business, points to low prices. Our readers ha' doubtless observed that when prices are hith buye lay less stress on the grades of cotton than when tin are low. A large low-priced crop therefore calls f careful handling; clean picking and good ginning a quire additional importance. Picking by the htindri and steam gins are noither of them favorable to sin results. Constant watchfulness and personal stipe vision are the only nvnt'mble means of conntcractii the dillluul.y. Tub farmers should inspcct each cu tun-picker's basket several times during the day ai make him feel that his eye is upon the manlier which the work is done. If a hand persists in pie] Ing trashy cotton turn him of}'. In like maiirnr 1 should inspect the gin?If it be a ptib:le gin?and (11 cover the velocity of tho saws; the less the velocl the better the sample of cotton. Whatever reenl tions the trade calls for as regards size of bale, k!i and weight of bagging and mode of picking, had be ter be followed. These are small matters, and if the will help tho sale of cotton, let us get the benefit them. While the gathering and housing of cr.'ps wllle gage ni'-st of attention thU month, some other ina tcrsahon'd not ho overlooked. Hush's which we grubbed up last month and have sent up sprouts sin< should be grubbed Spain. If this is thoroughly dm they will almost certainly die. One should never lo an opportunity to do things like this which add i much to the valuo of the farm. Whenever recnl work Is stopped by tho weather or other cause nil tl odd times could bo improved in betterments of tl farm. It Is well to keep o list of the various things this nature where it will be t'u'ly seon; whenever an thin? is suggested us needful :ir desirable, put it < this list. It will grow to be qnlto a Ions one, and glance at It will never leavo o"c at a lo?s to kno what to do with tho labor on tiie farm when rest)I work Is interrupted. This is a fitting time befo com is gathered to make the crib rat-pro-f. All th; is necessary Is to have It entirely isolated, rr.ray fro other buildings. trees, fences, etc, and raised < pillars two and a half feet hii/h, capped with piece of tin or sheet iron about two feet squar Wooden pillars slopii g towards the top so sr. to 1 smaller there (just the size of the sill) than at the be torn, answer every purpose. This Is a matter thatc: be easily and cheaply done, and will save many a bu hel of corn, llave no steps to the ciib, but use short ladder In place of them, taking care to lay down whenever the door le locked. If wheat is to be sown on other than corn or eott< land, preparation for it should be delayed no longe IJreak tho Innd at once and continue to break at ii teivals until seedin? .imo. As explained in a form urticle this will favor tho development of nitrati which are excellent food for wheat. A very line till is also an important thing for the crop, and this mnn< be secured In tho usual rough manner of putting i the crop. About the usual time for a killing frost the best tinio to sow wheat, say the last week in Oeti ber or early in November, and if preparation is bepu now there will bo sullicleut time to get the land I flrst-rate condition.
