We hear in thin community general coi plaint of the weights of cotton sold in til market. Whether or not there is any grour for this grumbling I cannot say, but It Is tin that some plan should be adopted to give tl farmers assurance that their cotton is propt ly weighed. I will beg to be allowed to make the folio ing suggestion : Have our farmers to careft ly and accurately weigh all cotton dry. as comes out of the press, and pluce the uumb of pounds on the bale, or. If you wish, on slip of paper, and when weighed in Abbevlll you find it does not nearly approximate yo weights, have It weighed again by some thli party until you are satisfied the weights a correct. We have nothing to do in fixing the price which we sell, nor have we any hand in a pointing the one who shall weigh our cotto therefore it is our duly to see that all thin are done acceptably. I have never been in favor of reducing tl price of weighing to five cents. I have i ways said we were more interested in havii our cotton correctly weighed by an eflicie man than in the reduction of the cost weighing. J, TOWNS ROBERTSON. ? The Xewberry Herald and News Hi a Level Head. yewberry Herald anil yews. The Abbeville Press and Banner thinks Is a travesty on Justice to have a S3,50( J ud and a SI,000 Solicitor, and all the other n chinery of our sessions court at work tryi a 75 cents chicken thief. It may look so, b It Is not the lault of the Judge nor the Soil tor; and then there is more involved in t trial of the criminal than the value of ;he i tide stolen. The franchise of the party trial is Involved and his competency to testl in our courts. These things follow convlctli whether the amount stolen be large or sma Did It ever occur to our contemporary tli the small thief had a harder road to travel a rule, anyway, than the big thief? We agree with the P>ess and Banner, how< er, that there are many small crimes th could and should be tried by the inferl courts. It would be better for all parties cc cerned We suppose that the next Legis ture will so amend the law as to conform to t decision of tbe Supreme Court and aga place within the Jurisdictlction of the Tr Justice the trial 01 petit larceny. The Trial Justice system is very unsatisfi inferior court with summary powers, and n less we had something belter to ofl'er we w not attempt to pull It down. In fact we 1 lieve if we could always get good men as Trl Justices, and men who understood soniethi of the law, the present system, with a tl< changes, would be about as food as any. V think, however, they should be salaried ol cere, and not have to depend at all upon t fees ol the otllce. And the constables shou be paid in the same way. It would remove temptation, which, under the present systei is sometimes a stumbling block. M m. E. Bell's Locals. Brown and bleached cotton flannels, frc 8c to 25c. Wm, E. Bell.

Resolved. by the citizens of Greenwood st assembled tills -fib day of November A. D. rg 1SS7, at the Male Illgli School for the purpose re of a formal opening of the said library, that ill the same be called and known as the James of Edward Calhoun Library, of Greenwood, S. C. 2. Reiolved, that this munificent gift of Col. id Calhoun has Imposed upon us, who have in ie our keeping the care and conduct of the Institutlon to which It Is given, increased obliga{.. tions to extend Its benefits and widen its rc rause of influence commensurate with the 5n liberality and learning of its founder. ri> 3. Resolved, that the thanks of this com50 munity arc due, and are hereby publicly tendered to Col. James Edward Calhoun for his ,,1 valuable contribution to the cause of educate tion In our midst. 1. Resolved, that the Secretary of the Greenin wood Educational Association be instructed i,. to forward to Col. Calhoun a copy of these resolutions; that, a copy be furnished to the re Librarian to be filed In the library, as part of Its history, and that, a copy be furnished the of Greenwood Tribune for publication. After the reading and adoption of the above 0f the presiding oflieer introduced the Superintendant of Education as the orator of the ,n evening, (.'ol. Rice said that he regretted very .. much not beim: able to speak of tlx* good re f),' suits that have been accompli.shed by the possession of libraries but that, it had been c. made his duty to speak on common schools. Speaking of Col. Calhoun he salil that it must ,e touch every heart to see this grand old man, ,1, now in the declining years of life, who never r knew the Joys or cares of a family parting of- with that, which must have been his comin panion through life and solace of many a lonely hour. In order to be the means of elevarn ting and advancing the youth of the land. After speaking on this line for some lime Col. k. ltice went Into an able and logical defence of ]j common schools and a common school sysa tern. It Is needless to say to those who know the man that he convinced even the most obes stinate of his Mulience as to tlie truth of his assertions. Iv A la rue crowd was present, and the faculty 15 and students of the female college were out a! in force. The enjoyment of the occasion was 0 much enhanced by the witching presence oi pi so much loveliness. One of the most notable features of the ln library is a large collection of very old and rare works. We noticed one volume that was ]e printed In 1517 making it now .UO years old. Several of them are over 2(Kt. A convenient ? library room has been fitted up in the school building and the books have been fairly started on their road to future usefulness. L'INCOXNITE.

The exhibits of every species worn superoiy grand anu mngniueeni. j ne huge enterprise certainly mentM volumes of eulogy and re I i eels much credit upon the originators. The unpreeedentedly Immense' throng of humanity that witnessed it will abundantly testily that it was not, by any means, a "one-horse affair." It will be a moLument for thought, ever and anon to revert to, for many days to come. 1'erfidventure, good will aucruc from It In the way of creating stimulus to emulation in every branch of industry. Also, the scribe hesitates not to assert, it is not exempt from from tauIt-flnUing, and Is until led to a large share of disapprobation. It certainly was fruitful of much evil-doing A stigma of reproach was visibly impressed upon Atlanta's supreme edorts lo establish an unimpeachable epoch In her history ol greatness. Iam partial to the opinion the evjI preponderates the good in such like ostentatious displays. The many ways that, apparently,are tolerated in the shape of gambling, to tempt many a poor fellow to lose his laborious earnings, are obnoxious features. The races afford an inviting tendency to recklessness and adventure In being made moneyless. The repeated assurances of the organ of constitution of that prosperous city that extortion and imposition would be under complete subjection, were not fully enjoyed. The numerous restaurants of drinkables anil eddibies on "the grounds" were not averse to appreciating the advantage of the hungry condition of the visitors for the sake of"lilthy lucre." For example: nickel for an eifsr. ten cents for a sandwich or a slice ol cheese tliat would lodge very nicely oh the (lois.il proportions of sin animalcule. Potations of disguised epithets commanded ao extortionate outlay of "spondulicks." Prohibition, seemingly, was not on duty, enjoying a "noose'" for the time being. Hotel keepers readily took in the situation, and reaped a harvest of extortion unparalleled In the annals of history. Lodging was at a premium of over a hundred per cent, above par. Perhaps the appointed vigilant committee resorted to every available means to operate against imposition, bnt, in my observation and experience, failed prodigiously. The merciless hand of extortion wrested many a hard-earned dollar from a number ot persons. It especially exercised tin unlimited sway amongst hotel dignitaries. Give the devil his due. I learn the Kimball House only exacted Sl l for a man and wife for one night. Many instances could be cited. Hulllce the relation ol my individual case, based upon indisputable tacts. I cannot well resist to give vent to a reeling of revenge, however weak it may appear. My partner in life was in my cltnrjio. Undergoing a little trouble I securcd (jitarters at the JSi. George's Hotel. It wits very undesirable. Four flights of stairway intervened Jinnti terra ere reaching its lolly attitude. And the clone proximity of a very ell'ensi ve "sink-' augmented its undesirabieness in no small degree. The only merit it possessed. It "heals none." It was a single bedroom, with an extra cot wedged in. The clerk demanded extra charge for the cot, 81.25 per day, which I paid. He gave me no ticket. Karly next morning wc were oil' to the exposition. I retained the key and left our baggage in the room, and entertained not the U-ah apprehensiou of holding the position at the Hist stipulated rates. On our return, transportation could not be obtained on the street cars. There appeared to be a promiscuous stampede of the conglomeration ol humanity, seeking refuge iroin the meeting clouds. Through mud and drenching rain, minus of any extra weather protecter, we wended our way, thoroughly bespattered and saturated and much fat iirucdere reach inir our elevated temporary abode. The nocturnal shades were appearing. We were in a dllem111:1. No change or apparel get-at-able. J managed to secure a coal liie and our dripping elotlitng were suhjcctcd to iv slow dryprocess. In the meantime, our room was demanded by another party. I resisted the application on the ground of priority. I ha J not surrendered it, and I had possession also 011 the ground that under the circumstances it would be at the peril of wife's life to have centiircd 0111 and he exnoseil fo the Inelnrn eiicy ?if the weather. Repeated demands were urged lor capitulation, and police ejection was menaced. 1 held tho ,-fort" unterrlfled. To adjust the matter, however, I was piloted to the Kimball House where the clerk, whose duty it Wfis to assign rooms, was located. He asked il I would give $1.50 lor the night. Mr. Editor, how will that do for extortion? Demurring a little, and conscience goring him, he llnnlly reduced it to S3.U0. I reluctantly yielded, with the proviso, a receipt would be given, and I prorogued the public.should be notilled or the imposition. I am In posesslon of the receipt to coroborate this statement, signed "Vandulia Co., by A. Collins." This young man, a sub-clerk acting for the Company, appeared to be courteous, genteel and honorable. The former, (clerk proper) his conscience was seared and nature seemed to have denied him of any of the "milk of human kindness," or it had leaked out of his cardiac region. Subsequently, I learned that the St. George's Hotel was leased tor the two weeks by the Vandalla Company that runs, I suppose, the noted Kimball House. That Information was sufficient to reveal the fact, that the "greed of gain" under any consideration, was the ruling desire. Combination, syndicates, and monopoly of all classes rank foremost among the curses that nllllct a people. Legislation to wipe out such plagues would institute a safeguard to protect prosperity. Mr. Hightower, who runs the eating department of the said hotel, is worthy or the appellation?quite a gentleman. He deserves much praise. Ilis waiting attention was elegant?his daughters serving in that capacity, Good fare, In abundance, was furnished at his usual price ?twenty-live cents a meal. He was overrun with custom. Taking our exit, the old gentleman remarked: "The Company treated you badly." Under such pressure of custom his iieurt remained pulsating with unadulterated impulses. No extortion was practiced by him. Quite a contrariety of action is apparent between the landlord proper and lease-holder. Tho sign hoard is legibly marked: "Twenty-Five Cents for Lodging." Further comment is unnecessary. The pressing assurances that were so repeatedly made by the Constitution tint extortion would not be infiicted upon the people during the Kxposi I ion were not carried out to the letter by a "jug full." O. F. H. rami Work for November. Southern Cultivator. The old Georgia rule was to sow in the dark nights in October. We are of the opinion that the man who understood the rule literally, and sowed, plowed and harrowed in his crop after dark, was as philosophical as those who insist that wheat should he sown during the last quarter of the moon in October. The 'dark nights"?so-called?as often occur during the first week as during the last week. The best rule probably Is to sow about the usual time of the first killing frost, which generally occurs, In Middle Georgia, about the last of O-'tober or first of November. Such a rule applies equally well throughout the region in which winter-sowing prevails, and adjusts itself to the oilier operations and conditions on a farm, none of which are dependent upon the phases of I ho moon. As already suggested in last month's "Thoughts," not every farmer should attempt to produce liis own supply of wheat. Proper diversification of crops does not imply that a farmer should absolutely produce everything. But there arc many farms in the hill country, of .1. / :.,ir ..,..1 u.M.tli Atl.iiiili. s:tnti'u on which wheat msiy he grown with almost as much certainly as in the great \vlie;it States of 1110 Northwest. Kxperience has shown that the best results are obtained when seed of Southern growth lire sown, of varieties I hat are of local, good r<*|>tiliitioii. Seed wheat from the North ami West fail, as u rule, when sown In the cotton Stales. Sow 011 high, well-drained cotton land, having a clay subsoil close i>y, manuring with cotton seed, or meal mlxeil with acid phosphate, in the proportion of twenty bushels of cotton seed or two hundred pounds of meal to one hundred pounds of acid phosphate, which will do for one acre. It the green seed are used they should be plowed in before sowing the wheal. If the meal be used with acid phosphate the mixture may be sown with the wheat on the freshly plowed land and harrowed in ultogether. o.vrs. J It is.still ill good time to sow oats in the southern parts of our territory. Indeed, it isj the usual time in Southern Georgia and contiguous sections ol other States, if the work ! was not done last month, even in regions fur-1 [ tlier north, it is advisable to sow oats even now, rather than rely entirely on a spring I crop. Notwithstanding repeated wiuter-kiilI lug of late-years, we have still more conII ' ii'iiiwi-in the long-run?In fall sown oats than I ill spring sown. j I OTATOl'-S.

CAKE |OF LIVE STOCK. I Owing to our comparatively mild winter j climate the Southern farmer is apt to neglect wholesome precautions against severe weather. In fact It Is shameful how little thought or care is given on many farms to thecomfort of the dumb and helpless animals who toll for us the year round, and are content with their wages, rations and shelter. Aside from moral ana humane considerations It is a question of dollars and cents that no farmer can afl'ord to ignore. There are many farmers whoaregenerous to a fault in feeding; they fill up the feed-troughs and hay-racks with corn and oats and fodder three times a day. But the shelter provided is often of t he most primitive and inadequate kind, and, shame to say, sometimes no better than the lee-side of a corn-crib or a fence-corner. It should bo remembered that the food Ingested by a horse, cow or other animal serves two distinct purposes in the animal economy :i. To keep up the heat of the body to the polt b?low which the vital process cannot bo carried on and life continue. 1'hls temperature degrees) must be mainlaincd constantly In the very coldest as well as in mild weather. The uatural means of maintaining thisanlnuil heat is by burning a portion of the food as it passes through the lungs in the form of blood. The colder the weather?other things being the same?the greater will be the proportion of the food that is taken into the stomach that must bo used as fuel, and ot course the proportion that can be utilized for reparlng waste tissues and stored up as fat must bo lessened. But tf resort is had to mechanical means to keep oat the cold?to keep in the heat?a very great saving orfood is accomplished, while at the same time the atiimnlH arc stronger for labor or latter for the butcher. In our own domestic arrangements wc obey this principle wlthou much attention to the philosophy of It. We provide thick walls, tight windows and doors, stopping the cracks with care, ami warm beds to sleep ou?thus saving the consumption ol a much larger amount of fuel, and adding greatly to the personal comlort and happiness and preserving the health of the members of our family. Nails, lumber and boards are much cheaper conservators of animal warmth and promoters of thrift and fattening than extra allowances of lood. But why philosophize on this subject? Is there a farmer In all this hroail land who does not know that It Is more prolltable, more humane,moreChrlstlan-llke, to make his live-stock comfortable than to compel them to stand shivering In the fence corners, or at best In open sheds or pole-made stables with cracks so large that a dog might easily Jump through. If there Is, we trust that he is not among the readers of the Cultivator. It will be retnemberd in this connection that we have often stressed the importance of getling the porkers into a condition for the knife before the cold weather has set'ln for the winter. Hogs should now be nearly or quite ready to kill, and advantages should be taken of the IIrst cold spell the latter part of this month to commence operations. Christmas should find them all in the smoke-house and I lie first killings 011 the sticks. The best and cheapest bacon is that made from hogs well fattened and butchered In December or earlier.
