The Memphis Appeal properly,
states the case when it says: '"The

USWEGO, N. Y.,
August 1, 1874.
The formation of a National Sports
ien's Association at this time is at
acting the attention not only of per
Ins devoted to the taking of animals,
sh and fowl, for profit, but also of
iortsmen and others who are desirous
f preventing the wanton destruction
f creatures uscd for the food or com
)rt of man.
When the primitive emigrants first
rrived in this country, they found
ie forests, seas. and streams swarm
ig with animal life, the result of
mnturies of undisturbed security.
rom that day the destruction of these
reatures bcgan. first for the preserva
on of life and for raiment; next as
rticles of sale or commerce, or to be
sed in the arts of civilized life; again,
s population increased, the destrue
on increased for the purposes of
ort.
This unrestricted slaughter has at
nath resulted in the total extermina
on in this country of some varieties
f animals and birds, or driving them
) far away from populated districts
iat isolated specimens are now rarely
yund in the remotest wildernesses.
'he Beaver, which was once so freely
>und in Pennsylvania, no longer
.ists. The Deer, which were once
> plentiful in various sections of the
untry, are becoming rare, and various
ther animals, birds and fish are now
e subjects of legislative enactments.
o great importance is attached to the
reservation of fish, that many States
ave not only restricted the time of
shing, but have passed laws and have
iade appropriations and appointed
inent citizens as commissioners for
e purpose of restocking streams and
Lkes which the cupidity of men have
Ihost depopulated.
While in the general sense it is to
e interest of society that this indis
riminate slaughter be stopped. on no
ne class of men does the duty of
uiding public sentiment, instigating
armonious international laws and at
mntion to a proper regard for the same,
evolve so much as on the sportsman.
The amateur who delights in hunt
ig and fishing-not for gain, but for
ealthful recreation-for recuperation
-for exercise-is of all men the one
,ho appreciates the importance of the
tw. The statesmen who sees the
nportance of cheap food and raiment
)r the people, whose interests are his
barge, will use his endeavors to pro.
ide laws, that future generations may
ot be deprived of the blessings which
iis generation is so wantonly destroy
In this view, the preservation of the
f fur seal in Alaska, the bison of the
lains, the fish in our rivers and
.reams. and the crustacca on our sea
Dasts, is of momentous importance.
With a view of procuring a concen
-ation of interest and effort, it is now
eemed desirable to formu a National
ranization, that the actiou of sports.
men may be harmionious and uniform
iall districts of our common coun*
ty ; and for this purpose a movement
as been inaugurated by the "New
'ork State Association for the Pro.
rtion of Fish and Game," in a pre.
minary meeting at Niagara Falls on
eptember 9, 1874, to take such action
3may then seem advisable.

A Water Spout.
The strange phenomenon of a large
water spout is described as being seen
one day last week at Langley, S. C.
The pond at Langley covers 600 acres,
and ever this rested a dark cloud,
which shot downwards a funnel shaped
column, the water apparently moving
upwards to meet it. The two met
finally and through the huge funnel
thus foinied an immense quantity of
water was sucked up. The column,
it is said, did not remain stationary,
but moved towards the railroad trestle,
in which direction it disappered.
Not a drop of water fell from this
newly charged .loud in the vicinity,
althouh a heavy rain in the neigh
borhood of Aiken was supposed to be
i the re4t of it.
Short Thrift.
A negro. named Henry (lover,eom
mitted an assualt ou Friday of last
week on M1rs. Shuler, of Lexington,
while on her way home. While en
gaged in his brutal work a white man
came up, when the negro fled. Mrs.
Shuler was badly beaten about the
head with a lightwood knot. Subse
quent search found the villain in a
swamp. and rightly he was shot down
on the spot.
The next case is that of the negro
who murdered Capt. A. F. Butler,
Railroad Agent. in the city of Augusta,
during the last week. It was an m:i
provoked murder and done in the
presence of the murdered man's wife.
Here, too, was a richly deserved pun
ishment meted out. The negro, after
arrest and incarceration, was demanded
of the jailer by the indignant citizens
and speedily made to expiate his
crime. What a comment on civil
rights!

next session opens under most favora
ble prospects on the 1st of October
next. We make the following extract
in regard to Discipline : "In the Caro
lina 3Military Institute the discipline
'is military, but the military element,
though used, is not unduly mag
nifed. The object being to impress
upon the cadets the idea of duty and
responsibility, the military arma is
employed. not so much to compel an
unquestioning obedience to a rigid
code, as to strengthen appeals to the
moral sense and to enforce ethical
propositions. All of the military that
is really valuable is used ; all that is
unnecessary and purely mechanical is
rejected."

The Way it Works.
We cop)y from the Edgefleld -hieer
isteefl(wing. It tells plainly how
Edicalismn works:
~The prisoners in our jail, mostly, if
ot all, colored, send us am scrawl. wvhich,
being reduced to good English. amounts
o this: Messrs. Editors-We, as poor
risoners, beg space in your columns to
iv that we feel deeply thankful that
Gd has blessed us with the ministrations
f such a good man as the Rev. Win.
Tomas, who, on Saturday last, came in
nd spent some time wvith ns, reading
nd talking for the welfatre of our souls,
md c-losing with prayer. He read to us
the 3rd Chapter of John, and assured us
ht whosoever belicreth in Christ shall
not perish biut shall have everlasting
ife. We must say that this good preacher
as done moire for us thtan any one we
ever saw, Hie has often given us papers
nd books, and pointed us the way from
earth to glory, He has done more for us
than the colored preachers, for they
seem to care nothing for us. Not one
of them ever comes in to see us. So
e pray that God may reward Mr.
homas in Heaven. Signed: '"The
?risoners in Edgenield Jail."
The reason the negro preachers do not
visit these prisoners, is that they will
probably not be out in time to vote next
fall. Of all your politicians the negro
reacher is the most thorough. the most
absorbed, the most indefatigable. And
of all political gatherings, the negro
preahings are the purest and most em
hatic. Among the negro preachers it
s not, "By faith are ye saved," but
'Vote for the Radical party and go to
heavn; do othewise and go to hell."
Cartridge Bo TeaehinuO.
At Ridge Spring, on the Charlotte,
Columbia & Augusta Railroad, a col
lision between the colored militia and
the whites seemed imminent a few
days ago. The colored companies
were drilling untIl a late hour oi Mon
day night. and threats were made as
t0 what they would do if interfered
with by the whites. The latter be
cominim inceinsed at the offensive atti
tude assumed, sent out runners for
help in case it came to the worst.
Fortunately for theni, the colored
troops kaving fought nobly in the
drill, retired quietly without ai overt
act. It is time that the radical party,
if they sincerely wish reform nd a
peaceful campaign, endeavor to con
vince the rank and file of their fol
lowers that this state of affairs must
be discontinued. It is scarcely pos-i
ble that such offences will be borne
with the forbearance heretofore ex
hibited.
Gcorgetown is also much distracted,
but it is principally a republicau fight
between rival factiouns. A requisition
was made on the commandant at Char
les6on for troops to preserve the peace.
The demand was declined. however, on
the ground that the difficulty was a mat
ter for the State authorities to settle.
A revenue cutter went down to protect
United States property.
A Call for a National Sports
men's Convention.
At Oswego, N. Y., June 23, 1874,
the State Association for the protec
tion of fish and game, resolved to en
dorse the call for a National Associa
tion, and appointed the 9th day of
September, at Niagara Falls, as the
time and place to meet in convention,
and deliberate for intelligent and effi
cient legislation for the protection of
Game, Birds and Fish. In accordance
with tiis the call is made and dele
gates are invited from all sections of
the country to attend the Convention,
which we have been requested to pub.
lish. The necessity for some such
lezislation cannot be doubted, but no
mAtter how wholesome it might be
made it could have no effect on any
hunting grounds in this part of the
d.main. In the first place there is io
g.une to protect; second, were there
any it would be necessary to legislate
for the purification of the State Gov
ernmeut ere any law to that end could
be enacted which would be respected.
Seallawag ascendency. equal right.,
radical robberies amd other evils too
numerous to mnotion have turned
loose thousands of hungry hunters
who make a clean sweep of everything
from a minnow in the waters to a
sparrow in the fields. However, if.
there are any here who would like to
have a voice in the Convention, we
invite them to read the call and then
go to Niagara Falls.
Encourage Them.
"In Pairfield, Newberry, Union.
Spartanburg and Greenville, many of
the colored people are prepared to
listen to men whom they have always
respected, always knew were their
friends, but whom the party lash and
the power of ridicule and of personal
denunciation kept them from support
ing in political matters and in elec
tions. This disposition to correct a
wrong, to be set in the right path, to
et out of the den of thieves, and to
be ranged in political action with'
hotest men, ought to be warmly met
and strongly encouraged. Our friends1
may depend upon it that the colpred
people will hear thema with patience,
and will weigh their suggestions."
So far as our observation extends
the Phoenix is correct in saying that
"the colored people are prepared to
listen to men whom they have always
respected." And it is our duty to,
encourage that feeling. In no county
of the State does a better feeling exist
between the two classes thanm in New
berry. The bitterness of the past
seems to be all past, and the kindliest1
relations exists where heretofor'e it was
the reverse. The colored people have ~
gained an experienice which will be of
incalulable benefit to them, in finding
out that they have been made the toolst
of designing, unprincipled men, who
eared nothing for them, and every
thing for themselves.

At a full meeting of thte Patrons of
Husbadry, Grange No. 69, held at
Wiliston. on the 16th instant, it was
unanimously
Resolved, That the Patrons of said
Grange, under a sense of duty tot
themselves and the community, in r
view of the demoralizing ten dencies 6
arising from the mischievous practice
of the purchase of small parcels of s
otton by the country storekeepers t
after sundown, have determined, wit hit
the view of suppressing such traffie ct
o withhold their patronaga from all
erchants and other traders who buy
otton in small parcels, either lint or t
seed, between sundown and sunrise. t
A wise and proper course, and one I
that it would be well for every grange
C
to follow. t_______

>f some kind. It has been most dis
xressingly dry in our neighborhood, so
mnuch so that I fear we will not make
more than half : Crop of cotton. The
earlv cotton has shed off and wilted so
badly that it has commenced to open
before the bolls are grown. The late
otton has not suffered so much. It
ontinned to grow during the dry wea
ther, and since the rain that fell on
Friday last it looks fresh and promi2ies
:t fair crop if frost stays off until the
hist of October. Late corn will not do
much. Early corn, since the fodder
has been stripped, is not so good as we
expected, though I think the most of
the farmers about here will make
nough to do them.
I had the pleasure of being one of a
5mall party that was invited to attend
the marriage of Mr. J1. H. Goree to
