EAST END. WITHIN THE CITY GATES. Mad-ilogs are all the rage at present, every day or so we hear of somebody's dug going mad but you must reiueruuer 101s mnuuo Is not losing lts temper so to speak, but is the result of an awful disease. The question is what's to be done. ,Tbe law of the city Is that every dot; running at large shall be muzzled that Is all right and should be strictly enforced, but how can tbey be muzzled without a muzz e? none to be had m the o ty and none pro.lded by the city authorities yet the dogs must be killed Our public oplulon "privately" expressed is that the Crty Council should provide muzzels, charge ? reasonable price lor them and enforce the muzzle law most rigidly, we also think whoever has a dog that is a suspect, that Is one that has been seen with a dog tbat has been mad should be required to couflne such a one until ail danger Is over, aud if they will not do this the authorities should bin the doe. Tls too late afier a child 01 some one is bitten to sigh and express regret. Yea one chllds life is worth more than anj number of dog?. This subject is growing serious and shouid claim at ouce the earnest and prompt attention of those In authority, no risks should be run. We have a sad iu stance in the little daughter of Senator GrayUon, even if is found she has no tra e of hydrophobia think of the Intense anxiety of tne parents and friends, and who knows who will be the next one to suffer? then let us have protection and at once.

Mr. Lawton is visiting relatives and friends In Hartsvllle. S. C. Miss Wakefield of Antrevilie Is the charming guest of Miss Ada McMillan. Our city farmer Mr. Long is planting cotton on his Kucker hill farm where be raised that fine corn last year. It remains to be seen whether he is as good a cotton laiTnnr as he Is at making corn. Sheriff, or Mrs. Lyon, or both have a nne garden, and as fine oats as we see any where, made too on old fields that bad been turned out for pasture and filled with gullies. Sherifl L/yon knowB hnw to reclaim, aud bring up the wasteplaccs and make tne barren soil fertile. The fire alarm sounded loud and clear last Saturday night about 9 oclock, but fortunately it did not amount to much as It was extinguished before it made any headway, Twas a cabin near the A. M. ?.

Their wagons canvass every part of the city all through the day which certainly Is a great convenience. Tne laanury uumuen 10 iuviwiui , w J day and week and the work Is said to be the bent. 60 everything about this new industry Is flourishing and fully op to the expectations of the stock holders.

May the old hlstoiioolty continue to grow aud prosper, and xnay.ber shadow never grow less and may her people by their enterprise and energy show to the world that they area live progressive people marching onward In the front rank to still greater achievements. The many friends of Senator Graydon and family :feel great anxiety, and solloltude about their little daughter who Is now under treatment In Atlanta and hope and pray that the Ultle darling mav be found to be all right and soon be permitted to return home In good health,sound In mind and body to the great rt lief of the family and ifrlendi.

Let all the Cheap John8 and forty-day killers Btay at home. 1 have been asked by a number of people tc give my views on the matter of penslonlnf the old Confederate soldiers. The pension law Is one of tbe greatest frauda of any Jaw that 1? on our statute books and ought to be changed. 1 see men under the pension Ian go to tbeottlce of tbe Clerk of Court and draff a pension, who I kuowof my own knowledge nevtr saw a Yanuee'ln their life unless he wai captured by somebody elsa I know a mac !'- *v.h?oiiTi>nrinniv. lsih town shlD. who bai I IU auuyT?i.w W??#l ?

Is there any fair mlndec man who will say tbai Is fair and right? Ji there any honorable tax payer wbo lb willing for such as tbut? I don't want to be understood as being opposed to any man drawlni a pension wbo served In the Confederate war i but I contend tbat It Is unjust and unfair foi i one man to draw a pension and not the othei i There shonld be no property qualification it: It. Every man who served in the Confederate war ought to draw a pension regardlesi of blB standing. Those whose misfortune it was to be disabled ougbt to have more than the other class. Take the law as It stands, the man wbo has a little property cauno draw a pension at all. My Bible Iteaobes m< tbat tbe laborer Is worthy of his hire. Take the Confederate soldier wbo owned property when be entered the service, did be nol leave his home, his wife and children and Interest*,Just as did tbe man wbo had notb Inn? Did they not charge tbe same breastwork*?

There are other sources of loss, which it will be Irnpos' Bible to enumerate, but probably tbere is no other single souroe of loss quite equal to Ibis. "" 11 Konlr ?n to HDeak. 80(1 1UD BU1I IB lug mi uvi > when tbe fertile part 18 gone, tbe owner la f practically bankrupt. Ibat liom wblcb tbe 1 living came la gone. Some dav nature may . replace tbe losa, In Its own way, bat It will ' require time, aod surely It would be mncb 1 better to prevent tbe valuable top soil from being carried away by tbe ralna Into tbe streams. This Is precisely wbat baa taken ' plaoe to a greater or leas extent every wbere, and generally much of tbe washing might 1 have been avoided. Perbapa, It is not possible to prevent all erosion, aa oar Southern 1 soils are quite loo?e, and easily moved. Tbe ' steeper slopes are belter titled for paalare and wood land, tban for cultivation ; and It wonld be tbe better plan to leave these very Bleep places covered with forest; or, if cleared, to make paaturea of tbem. Thorn in. it stems, nothing known to ua at present that will keep all the suil In the oleared fields, as the summer rains are frequently bo heavy as to make some washing sure. But there are several ways of reducing it to a minimum. One Is, by terracing all the cultivated fields, even where the slope is very slight. The terracing should be done by some one wbo understands the work, as It rei quires Bome skill to do it properljk As a rule, , terraces should be run on a level, although sometimes they are given a slight (all toward > either end. The qutstlon of wnetber to give a fall or not should be determined by the lni dividual. Some have advanced the view that I terracing may be discarded, as there are other ways of saving the soli. But they are one of I the best safeguards yet discovered to bold our I Southern soils in place. Until something i better is found they should be carefully kept ' up. Even under careless management, they ? have been of Inestimable benefit throughout t the South. With careful management, they r will be of very muob greater value. Urate growing on the terrace banks render i them permanent, and not easily broken by i therein*; but It Is a matter of common obserj vatlon that weeds, briars and bushes eoou : oome up and replace the grass, making the i fields look ragged and unkept. They should i be kept cut off, and if something of a low, . niofie habit of arowth oould be found to grow ; no tbe terraces, it would be rnucn Deiwjr. Japan, or wild clover, would possibly do this, i and It could easily be made to grow all over ; tbe terrace in a year or two, by Blmply sowing i tbe seed (or tbe soil in wblcb tbe seed are) I along tbe terraoe. It forms a tblck, matted % growib, capable of withstanding beavy rains, ; tboogb Dc^t as resistant as bermuda grass sod would be. Some tbink tbe latter would be ; good to bave growing on tbe terraces, but , tbere Is some risk In putting It in cultivated fields, as there Is danger of Its becoming scat i. ni, itnnuror thi? kind from lervu, iuoio jo uv ? ___? i Japan clover. It will drive oat most grasses and weeds, bat la Itself easily destroyed, i Another means of reducing tbe soil wasbi log, Is by adopting a systematic rotation ol i tbe crops grown on tbe land. Clean cultl, vated crop?, snob as corn and ootton, sbonld not be grown year alter year on tbe same a fields. Besides robbing the aoll of Its bnmas, . It exposes It to tbe unrestrained action of tbt rains dnrlng tbe part of tbe year wben tbey i are heaviest. By adopting a plan o! crop rol tail on. this would be partly avoided. By deeper plowing, too, tbe soli is enabled . to absorb more water, and so less runs off on > tbi surface. This is one ol the surdat means > of preventing soil waate. In these ways, then, tbe washing of the soil, i everywhere so common, may be reduced to a I minimum, if not entirely prevented. I Tbe aim should be to keep tbe top soil, . In which plants find their main sustenance, t In place, and not allow It to be carried away by tbe rains. The steeper hills and slopei --1-4 ^ with forest. This If | BUUUIU WW avpi w.v.v? ? l very obvious. If left tbaa tbey will afford a steady Income in the way ol wood and wood prod acta. All cleared land aboold be terraocd, and tbe terrace banks not allowed to break. A systematic rotation of crops sbonld be pat Into practice, tbe aim being to keep lb* bumas in tbe soil, and to bave tbe fields in something other than clean oultnre crop toi a part of tbe time. For tbe aootb, a tbret year rotation, aa follows, la as good as can be , used : first year, cotton; second year, corn af, ter tbe cotton, wltb peas in tbe corn; tblrj I year, grain followed by oow peas, either In 9 rows or broadcast. Otbef rotations mlgb* i give as good results. but some orop like grain and oow peas sbonld bave a pteee in tbe rotatlon. Tbe latter are good soli renewers, ac , tbey bave tbe power of drawing their nU trogen from tb? atmosphere, and they leave ? tbe land where they have grown richer io , this element. They are unsurpassed as so'.i Improvers, but, like other crops, they r<ted r potash and phosphate to make their beat growth. rT,uonH rnnm thoroneh ClOW > 1 UCU, V/ uovvvt . w ? m lng, tbe soil will be enabled to bold more oi . tbe rainfall, and bo tbe surfsoe washing will not be eo great. Besides, tbe additional watei absorbed will help tbe growing <frops to tide , over tbe dry seasons. In plowing deep, bowt ever, oare sbonld be taken not to tarn ap toe much clay at one time, nor to do the plowing when tbe soil Is too wet. It Is safe to let tbe ' plow go as deep as tbe fertile soil extendi, , and a little ways Into tbe clay. ?In vis way, . some depth may be added eacb year to tbe arable part of tbe soil, so that after a few years, a deep fertile soil well supplied with batons, and tbe other elements of fertility, | may be secured. Tbls Is not theory, but demonstrated fact. Tbe plan sbould bo to deepen tbe soil gradually, and not all in a single ' year, as this would not be practicable. Borne . soils are naturally deep and fertile, otbert i shallow and not to fertile, and tbe latlei r should not be plowed as deeply as the former, i All may be greatly Improved In textnre and I crop produolng power by right treatment, and the washing, so deplorable, obecked and I even entirely prevented.
