Occasionally some one brings a rabbit to tbe public square, and turns It loose to becaofltt again by tbe stray does and street Arabfl. Yesterday a scene of this bind occurred. The | rabbit was turned loose several times, and as I often caught after a short chase. f This seems like very cruel sport, and Is a B r>rar>Hce which should not be allowed. We {rust that oar town council may forbid sucb cruel scenes on our public square. Besides tbe cruelty to the rabbit, there is danger of causing some horse to run away. At best the public square is uot a good place for field sports. Secession Hill. We have a historical sketch of Secession Hill which we expect to pnbllsh next week. Among other matters mentioned are the beautiful flowers, tbe fruitful vines, and tbe lovely home which crowns its summit, while the taste and skill of him whose energy has developed the hill Into a scene of beauty and loveliness Is not forgotten. It was written by u young lady who was born since tbe stirring scenes which made the hill historic. A Suggestion About the Roads. i It we are in order we would suggest tbe resurveying of portions of almost eyery public road In the county. In very many places, by a slight change of route, a level road would be bad, instead of tbe steep hills which take up a large pari of tbe roade at present. Never mind a Tittle expense In acquiring the right of way. The best expenditure of money would be for this purpose. Barbed Wire Fencing the Best?No Ribbon Wire, with Frills, Is Good.

The next night they stayed near Abbeville, and then proceeded to Verdery, Bradley, Edgefield ana Trenton at which latter place they boarded the train for Aiken.

The Abbeville Rifles gave their Thirteenth Annual Drill and Hop. A more pleasjant evening was never spent in the Court I House. The array of beautiful women and 1 handsome men could not have been excelled I any where. The young people had a most delightful time, sod the young gentlemen of the Rifle Club have great reason for congratulation in > the splendid suecew of the entertainment. Whatever interests the Abbeville Rifles, interests everybody In town. Nearly all the young men are members of the company,and < if there is one organization with whom all our : people may meet without Jealousies and in the absence of all selfishness. It Is the Abbeville Rifles. The members of the company , entertain the most cordial relations toward . each other, and in turn the friends of each , are ready to manifest a friendly Interest in . the Rifles, which, by common consent 1b one < of the best drilled, and one of the finest looking companies In the State. ; The Judges were Col. N. G. Evans and Capt. W. W. Butler, both of Edgefleld, and both ( holding commissions id me aiaie voiumeer . troop*. The selection was fortunate Inasmuch as . both of these gentlemen are thoroughly posted la military tactics. The decision gave sat- . lsfactlon both to the company and to the audience. . Capt. Butler delivered the prize to Sergeant DuPre, adjudged to be the beat drilled man in the company, in a few brief and weil rounded remarks, saying that it gave him pleasure . to renew that acquaintance with Abbeville , and her people which unfortunately for him bad been of but short duration. His first tm- . presslon was that she is a strong oounty and , he Is glad to see that she is not only Btrong in tellectually, but that she is also strong in her . military. That Abbeville had always been distinguished for her military prowess and be > felt confident that the Abbeville Rlfies would ( uphold her reputation. { Capt. N. G. Evans delivered the prize, which was a handsome gold badge, to Lieutenant ( Harris as the best marksman. He said be < was pleased to appear before such an lntelll- > gent assembly of the people of his native < county under such auspicious circumstances. While he had been absent from Ler borders ( for years he always felt like be was returning . home wben be crossed her county line. Al- , though be had chosen Edgefield as bis adopted home be atill cherished the traditions of the "banner county" and rqjolced In every- , thing that exalted her and kept up her glorl- , ous record. The material and spirit of this excellent company assured him that new hon- c ors awaited her if the young men should ever c be called upon to defend tbelr country and . their homes. It was peculiarly gratifying to : him to observe the discipline and good con- , duot of the young men who had Just made such a creditable exhibition of their lntelli- v geuoe and their acquaintance with tbe duties ? of soldiers. Capt. Evans wore a magnificent > sword which had been presented to bis father . the late Gen. N. G.

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE. 80ME STRONG FOOTS IK FAVOR OF TSE ORGANIZATION. The Alliance Takes In a Big Contract, and Wonld Seem to Labor to Enrleh Eiwji and Every Member. Mr. John A. Devlin: I give you a short account of tbe design* and workings of the Farmers Alliance of North Carolina. This is a new organization in North Carolina. It was introduced Into the State less than three years ago. The history of the Farmers Alliance since Its introduction Into our State in frought with weighty evidences of the merit and commendabillty of that enterprise. One fact which shows tbe approbation it has met is, tbat it is composed of tbe best and most Intelligent farmers in the State. We mean by best farmers, those who have made & success of their business. The Alliance is led by such men as Capt 8. B. Alexander, Li. L. Polk, and others equally useful, but not jo prominent. Another evidence of the worthiness of the jrder is, that during Its short existence, there nave been twelve Tiundred and thirty alliances organised within the State. The far mere seem mj aw iu n Guuietuiug iuui urauou, ThU will give you the necessary knowledge ib to the order In North Carolina. The force of the farmers Alliance la not directed against any class of men. It Is not a political scheme. In fine it is an organization or self-defense. There are some questions which Interest all nen, living In the same country, and then here are some questions which are of more ntorest to some men than to others. A mershant wants to know how 10 buy and sell, the 'armer wants to know bow to farm, and there s no small field of study before nlm, If be vould succeed. The end in view with nlllancemen is to >rlng the farmers together for the purpose of souncillng each other on questions pertaining o the farm. Men of every other profession and calling >f life claim, that there must be ooncert of ao.lon; that men must contrive together and lave some fixed plan, open to change, before .here can be any signal success. Then, this being true, and no one calls it In inestlon, why should the farmers as a class, nake themselves an exception to a rule that Till apply to all other classes of men ? This question baa thrown Ufa and resolution n to the minds of the intelligent farmers of >ur State. This question has been the cause ?f the organisation of the Farmers Alliance. An organization must be put within reach if the greater number of men in order to be:ome strong and influential. The alliance is be place. It coats only fifty cents to become a nember. There are some qualifications other ban merely pecuniary. One qualification, and 1 believe the one on rblch Its life depends is, that before you can >ecome a member you must be a farmer to he exclusion of every other profession or rocation of life. But if this was all the farmers had in viewimply to meet and consult about bow to ilant and cultivate a crop, the end would be mly Imperfectly attained. They might raise xcellent crops, yet Uiey wouia sun De serrants and renters and the merchants would iwd the farms and let them oat to the beBt enants. But the greatest advantage to the farmer is o come yet. There are many wants among he Southern farmers In the spring of the rear. They want what Is generally known as arm supplies. This Includes everything from itenslls for the cultivation of cropB to table upplles for tbelr tenants. This question Is discussed at a regular meetng of the alliance and they unite and buy heir supplies from one man, therefore get hem much cheaper than otherwise. 80 a an who dou't want more than fifty dollars rorth of goods can get them as cheap as If he ought five hundred dollars worth, alnce he s united with perhaps fifty men. These men want fertilizers. Aa they are inlted and buy as oue man they can get It at he factory as cheaply as any merchant, iere It Is plain that they save a large sum of aoney, which pays the agent otherwise. The farmer hea purchased his fertilizers and upplles for his farm without paying the ?ent bis per cent. His crop 1b raised and he teglns to harvest It; now the next question Is, tow can he get the worth of the crop In uarket? Now. if the farmer stops here all his econony will avail but little ; almost any man can alse a good crop In this country, but very ew can show any results of a good crop. In our county (Mecklenburg) the Alliance lected two competent men, Messrs. Neal & ienderson, and located them in Charlotte, rith instructions to watch the cotton market. ?hey bought cotton, but this waa not their iriQOipai DUS1U6B8. xueir uumueas won IV enow wbat cotton was worth la all the prlnlple cotton markets of the land, and to tell >ue of their men, when be brought cotton to uarket, wbat It was worth. It Is claimed by some that the farmers savd more money here than in tbelr wholesale turcbases. It was predicted by tbose who always stand iff to see bow a thing "comes out," that the otton merchants would soon put these Alll- , noe men down, but all the doubling among be weak farmers and cliques among the aerchants could not thwart the honest eforts of those men to procure tbelr dues. Tbls Is not a fancy picture of wbat the Alll.nee might do, but a true statement of what t has been doing in North Carolina during ! 888, and the work has Just begun. J. M. G. Garrison's, N. C., January 24,1889. PROF. SWING ON DANCING. naagnration Ball Objector* of the Pulpit Rebuked. Prof. Swing took for his text' yesterday bese words of Luke: "We have tolled all tight, and have caught nothing." This gave Prof. Swing an opportunity to rlticise a certain class of clergymen, who lave of late been wasting tbeir own time ,nd that of their listeners in discussing in.uguratlon balls and reoeptlons. ,IOur age demands," said Prof, Swing, ,mong other things, "that wbat powers we lossess shall be wisely applied. If there are ,ny evils worse thnn the dance and the Sunlay newspapers they should flrot be assailed. mmAclenrvmen are asklncr why tbeir city irethren 3o not attack charity balls, lnauguation balls, and the like. It Is an Injury to be dignity of the Christian minister to raise be Inquiry. What an Inquiry T Have the Qlllloms of this country all the education we rould wish to see them have? Are tbey aorally perfect T Are our laws all we wish hem to be? If there are moral chemistries o detect the difference between an inanguralon reception and a ball It would be a quesIon. The cause ot Christianity has suffered Dng enough from synodlcal power. In the Ighteenth century woman was a slave; man ilher a despot, a beggar, or a scoundrel. Lnd In this nineteenth oentury. when Chrisianlty wants to benefit mankind, certain aorallBts arise who shed tears because man rould keep time to music with his feet." Prof. Swing related a little anecdote, 'hirty years ago. in an Ohio village, a poor rldow was accused of breaking the commandDenis by a neighbor. This saintly man rantod the presbytery to expel her. The oor widow's orlme was that she bad carried q the bouse on Sunday overflowing buckets r maple sap. When the trial came on an lder, probably a little more reasnoable than he saintly man, arose. "The crime, it seems to me," he said, "Is hat this good man allowed a poor, weak roman to carry in these weighty buckets lerselfwlthout helping her." "The inference." said Prof. Swing, "Is not hat the clergy needs help,' but that it may rell pass by many forms of b uman action to 4Kali? nalnht arro incl of no that ihroofon be public. If tfie church decrees tbat the ?lay?ng of cards for money Is wrong that Is pelt. But If it adds: You must not play ards at all, you must not go to dramatic enertalnmenta, good or bad, you must not .anoe, you must not go to parties, you must not ead novels?all these many decrees retract rom tbe one, and tbe church becomes an nemy of the young rather than Its friend, f the young folks are coming back to the hurcb It Is only because she has become less lespotloand more liberal. The fewer the ules of conduct tbe more lmpreslye great aws become. The greatest church will be bat which accomplishes the greatest tasks or the greatest ends. "A scolding pulpit Is powerless; see the esult In the middle ages. How shall we dacate the millions, make humanity more noral, end intemperance and tit men tor his great world aud the next to come? ^here are questions large enough for our city lulplta.

EOOERS, A Beautiful Tribate to One of the Best Women of NIncly*Slx. Mm. Evelyn Rogers, wife of Captain James Rogers, Jr., of Ninety-Six, and daughter of Edward J.Walker, of Charleston, was born in Charleston October 20th, 1846, and peacefuli ly fell asleep in Jesus at Ninety-Six February 3rd. 1889. For an hour of sorrow and bereavement we i are apt to be fulsome in our prniseof adeparted friend and loved one. But It is the calm Judgment of all who knew Mrs. Rogers, especially of him whose privilege it Is now to testify to her virtues, that whatever may be said In praise of her is buta faint tribute to the memory of one whose life was "full of good works and almsdeeds which she did." As an active and useful member of the Presbyterian church she exemplified In her zealous and consistent life how a Christian may become a "living epistle known and read of all." Tried In the varied relationship of daughter, sister, mother, wife and friend, she showed herself to be the same faithful, loving, unselfish companion. Her charity and loving kindness were conspicuous. If there were in the community some one ever so poor and bumble upon whom sickness had laid Its hand, she was first to administer the needed cup oi cold water, or to send a tempting mor>n?A?wt(iA.i Ktf V.or nwn Invlni/ hunnfl. If OCX Dpoi OU UJ UU1 VII u - some child of misfortune were languishing upon a bed of Buffering many a pang did she alleviate by ber tender care and thougbtfulness. If tbe pall of death had shrouded some home in sorrow and gloom, she lovingly administered comfort and consolation. In the Woman's Aid Society and In those benevolentorganlzatlons which have for their object the welfare of tbeohurch and the amelioration of the condition of mankind, she was a zealous leader, and by her means, influence, and superior Intelligence, contributed largely to their success. There was no enterprise of a public nature, where tbe skill and taste of woman was needed, in whieh she was not actively luterested. On the afternoon when sorrowing friends had consigned her remains to the grave a friend voiced the sentiment of tbe community when he remarked : "This day Ninety-Six has burled one of her beat women?one who will be missed by all." She was a Christian woman and In her late sickness, during which her suffering was intense, she was perfectly resigned to the will of Qod. She died in the faith, hopeful and happy in the consciousness that "there remains a rest to tbe people of God." In tbe home or which she was the light and tbe object of the tendereBt love and atlectlon there are left tbe husband and four children to cherish her memory and to rise up and call ber blessed forever. H. Advantages of Wire Fences. I pasture all my horses in enclosures fenced with "hog" wire, the severest form of barb, and ander no circumstance would I use buckthorn, unless above or below each strand of it was a wire carrying barbs.

I shared belief In tbe outstart, some eight yearn ago, as to barbs and horses, and was unwise enough to invest larely In the buckthorn, Bat I soon lound that my horse grew Indifferent toward it, and through familiarity, oue was irreparably injured by its saw teeth. When a horse is led up to and forced against a barb wire be cannot afterward, either In playing with other horses or led by a person, be induced to go dangerously near it. For several months last summer I turned a blind horse into a barbed enclosure and be was even more wary than those who could Bee. I cannot imagine bow a horse can be injured by "hog" wire, whose owner would teach it, by compulsory contact, what a barb is. Cavalrymen well know that no rider can force his horse against a bayonet, and in my several, years' experience with all forms of wire fence I have not yet had a horse to tackle a barb, though all my anlmalB disregard tbe buckthorn. A barb and a bayonet are alike for protection againBt a horse. The Intelligence and cunningofmy horses and cows in dealing with barb fence 1b striking. They distinguish between plain wire and tbe barb as readily as I do. For Instance, a panel of "hog" wire fence was cut out for some larm purpose. In repairing it my manager used plain wire for connection of the separated Btrands, leaving a space of about two (2) feet with no barbs, yet the rogue cow of mr flock broke through at this particular point before night, taking the herd with her. One of my horses could open my house yard gate, made of "hog" wire, unless it was specially fastened against her. This the rogue cow could not do, but she alwayB was a close attendant of the mare and thereby got many an extra feast of fresh grass from my lawn by availing herself of the noise's sagacity. My Iowa and Kansas friends have no accidents from barb wire if they teach their animals by oompulsory contact what it is. In n.r fholp ornprlonr-p ar waIIm mvnwn. I mustolalm for horses the samejexemptlon from danger that Is granted cows, provided, however, the severest forms of wire are used. There mast not be any familiarity permitted the horses or sooner or later entanglement in greater or lesser degree will ensue. "Hog" wire, with its barbs lour (4) Inches aprt, accomplishes for me the requisite avoidance by the animal. I am aware that a horse ignorant of tbe dangerous nature of barb wire, if turned alone into a field enclosed with It, may get hurt. But if put there along with educated horses, or is first lorced bodily agalDSt the barbs by his cautious master, be 1b as safe as an Infantry column armed with courage and eood bayonets is against a cavalry charge. The sharper the hnrb tbe sofer the |animal, is what my experiu;ce teaches. Mules are ,surprisingly wary. They need not be taught: at least, the three that I own were turnd without precaution of contact into barbed enclosure, and, seemingly,, at once.appreclated| its qualities. Mt. Carmel, S.
