TRoUBADOuRS.-Last week there was
a wandering band of Italian musicians
in town. Friday night a party of young
gentlemen in town, amateur perform
ers, went out serenading. They stop
ped at the house of a citizen on Cald
well Street and discoursed sweet music.
that so touched the heart of the said
citizen that he generously threw them
a quarter, thinking they were the Ital
ians. They wilted.
SMASH.-Scarcely had Messrs. Mc
Fall & Pool got into their new and
pleasant quarters and begun to feel
comfortable when ill luck befell then.
Thursday a wagon passing along the
street in front of their store struck a
long piece of scantling leaning against
the new store adjoining and tumbled it
down against the square show case
standing just outside the door, smashing
it into smithereens and knocking the
contents literally into cocked hats.
HOME AGAIN.-Messrs. McFall &
Pool are happy. They have got back
to their old stand on Pratt street, from
which they were driven by the late fire.
The newv building they occupy is very
much like the former one, but has a
neater and fresher appearance, and the
skylight is better. There are also some
improvements in the department de
voted to millinery. Mr. Peoples occu
pies a portion of the store with his
jewelry. ______
Is IT HYDROPHOBIA P--We thonght
the mad dog epidemic was over, but it
seems not. Thursday Mr. Win. Lang
ford's yard dog was strangely affected.
While feeding as usual with two pup
pies he became suddenly very vicious,
seized them and bit them badly. He
then ran at full speed around the yard
several times, snapping at whatever
came in his way. A .double-barrel
shot gnin put an end to his tantrums.
Mr. Win. Harp says his dog began
to manifest symptons of madness Satur
day. He penned him up, to await re
sults.
CLUBs AND STARs.-Thursday while
Policeman Lathrop had a man under
arrest Mr. A. B. Morrison went up to
him to make some explanation in re
gard to the arrested man. Lathrop
struck Morrison a severe blow on the
back of his head with his club-and
then arrested him. As the matter will
be investigated by the Courts, we make
no comments.
We intend to see whether a police
man has a right to knock a man down
with a club before he refuses to be ar
rested.
THE Porl TAX.-WVe suggest to the
farmers, and others who have colored
men in their employ, that they inform
their employees of the provisions re
garding the poll tax. Every man be
tween the ages of 21 and 60, if capable
of earning a support, must pay the poll
tax (.S1.00) under penalty of $5 fine or
thiity days' imprisonment. These col
red men, being ignorant of the law,
and in most cases unable to read for
themselves, might be caught napping.
nstead of paying the fine, in a majority
of cases, they would go to jail; their
employer would then lose them out of
their fields for a month during the busy
season and the County would have them
to feed.
Two GENTLEMEN OF YERONA.
Charley Gary and Lawrence Jones, ex
constable and ex-trial justice under the
Chamberlain regime, have been play
ing the dodge game. They hired a
horse and buggy Tuesday from Mr.
Blease's stables for the afternoon, pay
ing in advance, and promising to re
turn them at 7 o'clock. They went out
into the country and sent a message to
Mr. B. that they would not return till
next day. He sent back word to them
to bring in the horse and buggy at the
appointed hour. This they refused to
(d0. It wouldn't have been so bad, but
when they came in late the followving
day they declined to pay for the addi
tional time they had kept the horse and
buggy.

evening at Temperance Hall.

there very grassy-the grass in many
cases being higher than the cotton

In accordance with previous notice,
the County Convention assembled in the
Court House Thursday, the 12th instant,
with Capt. Jas. N. Lipscomb in the
Chair. Seventy-three delegates were
present. The President declared the
Convention ready for business. Before
proceeding to the regular business of
the day, Messrs. Keitt, Pope and Dorroh
rose to a question of privilege, and gave
their reasons for having withdrawn
their contests for seats in the House of
Representatives.
Dr. Jas. McIntosh offered the follow
ing :
Resoled, That this Convention hearti
ly endorse the action of Messrs. Keitt,
Pope and Dorroh. Adopted unani
mously.
Dr. Jas. McIntosh moved that the
Convention go into nomination for
nominees for Clerk of Court, one Coun
ty Commissioner and one member of
the House of Representatives. Adopted.
Col. T. J. Lipscomb nominated
Y. J. Pope, Esq., for member of the
House. Dr. J. W. Folk nominated
Dr. W. M. Dorrob. O. L. Schumpert,
Esq., nominated Col. Ellison S. Keitt
Col. Keitt declined. Mr. J. B. Huller
nominated Col. C. H. Suber. Mr.
Joseph Caldwell read the following let
ter of declination from Col. Suber:
NEWBERRY C. H., S. C.,
July 12, 1877.
Mr. Joseph Caldwell:
MY DEAR SIR-The suggestion of my
name in connection with the vacancy in
the House of Representatives of the
General Assembly of this State, ocea
sioned by the exclusion of the notorious
Will H. Thomas, has caused me no
small degree of embarrassment. In
deed, I am at a loss, now, to determine
what course to adopt in relation to the
matter. I imagined that my omission
to accept the nomination made in the
"Newberry HERALD," some weeks
since, would be regarded as a declina
tion; and hoped that I might he saved
from the necessity of appearing in the
public prints-a thing for which I have
no liking. Befor^, :.nd since, this an
nouncement, I have been free and
frank in the expression of my desires
as to this matter, and I have endeav
ored to convince all who have ap
proached me on the subject, that it was
not my purpose to become a candidate
for this vacant seat. I had the honor
to occupy a place in the Legislature, in
the better days of this Commonwealth,
for five consecutive terms,-quite enough
of this kind of service of my State to
satisfy my humble aspirations. I have
refused to assert that I would not, if
elected, serve in this position ;-this, to
sa- the least, would be ungracious in
me. I owe too much to our people for
their kindness and confidence heretofore
manifested in me, to allow me to de
::line to serve them to the extent of their
wishes; but I should have to be con
vinced that it was really their will be
fore I would yield my consent to become
a candidate for this post. The voice of
he people 'when fully and fairly ex
pressed, I feel it my bounden duty to
bey, under any and all circumstances.
Ihis voice can only find expression
hrough a convention of the people,
:epresented by delegates chosen with
a special reference to the purposes and
bjects they have in view. The dele
ates comprising the Convention which
s to assemble to-day were chosen more
han twelve months ago, when certain
y the people did not anticipate the con
ingencies which occasioned the vacancy
ow to be supplied, and as surely did
nt contemplate its being filled by me,
r any one else. Taking all this in
iew, I hope none of my friends will
ress my nomination for the vacant
osition before the Convention to-day,
ad I beg you, dear sir, to say so to them
for me. WVith the hope that the delib
rations of the Convention may be har
onious and, being guided by wisdom,
ay result in the general good,
I am, very truly,
Your friend and servant,
C. H. SUBER.
Nominations then closed.
Just at this point Mr. Joseph Cald
,ell rose and moved that this Conven
tion do now dissolve.
This sprung the question, which had
been lying dormant hitherto, as to the
onstitutionality of the present Conven
tion and the propriety of making nomi
ations. Col. Keitt and Dr. Jas. McIn
tosh spoke for the motion; Messrs. Y. J.
ope, U. B. Whites and J. N. Lips
omb against it.
Mr. Caldwell's motion to dissolve
ailed. The Convention then proceeded
o vote for the nominee for House of
epresentatives. The vote being taken,
Y. J. Pope received a majority of the
votes cast and was declared the nominee.
Nominations were then made for Clerk
f Court, and. E. P. Chalmers, D. A.
Dickert and N. B. Mazyck were nomi
nated. Mr. Chalmeis receiving a ma
jority of the votes cast, was declared the
iommiee.
The next nominations were for one
ounty Commissioner, and the names
of the following gentlemen wvere pre
sented: A. G. May bin, L. B. Maffett,
. P. W. Riser, Jacob Epting and B. H-.
ovelace. The vote being taken, Mr.
. Bates Maffett received the nomina
Y. J. Pope, Esq., resigned his posi
tion as Chairman of the County Exec
utive Committee of the Democratic
party. J. F. J. Caldwell, Esq., a mem
ber of the committee, was unanimously
hosen to succeed him, and Col. T. J.
ipscomb was chosen in Mr. Caldwell's
place.
The Convention then adjourn'ed.

:rowd to witness the trial of a negro
woman, Susan Suber, alias Lizzie Can

Mr. Graham brought a buggy load
of fine watermelons and peaches into
town Friday.
Mr. D. V. Scurry's wagon load of
cotton Thursday created quito a flutter
among the buyers.
A large crowd was in town Thurs
day, the occasion being the meeting of
the County Convention.
Mr. R. C. Maybin attended the Dis
trict Conference at Ninety-Six last
week as delegate from the Methodist
Church here.
A party of young gentlemen from
Columbia spent Friday night in New
berry. They were on the way to the
mountains, traveling in wagons.
There was a pleasant picnic near
Mr. J. K. Schumpert's Saturday, at
tended by many young people from the
town and surrounding country.
Mr. W. L. Andrews, of Chappell's
Depot. had a fine horse stolen from him
the night of the 1st instant. It was
taken from the pasture.
A farmer was bragging the other day
of having cabbage heads twenty inches
around. That's nothing; you can find
plenty of them on the streets here will
beat that.
Dr. J. D. Bruce lost his watch Friday
morning while going to the market.
He thinks that in attempting to put- it
into his watch-pocket he missed the
pocket and it fell.
WATCr.-Three weeks ago Monday,
a young man named Frank Elford
came to Newberry hunting work in the
tailoring line. Mr. A. B. Morrison
had known him in Greenville, where
he (Elford) lived five years, and showed
him some kindnesses by furnishing him
with lodging. Tuesday, the 10th, Mr.
E. A. Scott agreed to furnish him em
ployment for a month and gave him a
pair of pantaloons-o make, which he
finished Wednescay, and then quit
work. Thursday morning he went to
Mr. Morrison's rooms again, over J. M.
Crawford's store, and while Mr. M.
was in his bed room. Elford went into
his tailor shop. where Mr. Spencer
Sutherland was asleep on a lounge, and
stole his watch from his pocket. When
Mr. Sutherland awoke and missed his
watch he felt sure that Elford had stolen
it, and immediately a messenger was dis
patched on horseback with a warrant
to Prosperity, where it was thought he
had gone, to intercept him. He was
found there with the watch, arrested
and brought back to town. He was
carried before Trial Justice Packer,
and the offense being Grand Larceny
(stealing privily from the person) he
was committed to jail, to await trial at
the September term of the Court of
Sessions.
Elford says he was born in Missouri,
that he livedl five years in Greenville,
S. C., and that he came' directly here
frm Mississippi on foot. He belongs
o doubt to the "Grand Army of
Iramps." This supposition is strength
ned by the fact that he was offered
ork by Mr. Scott, but left it.
It is proper to say that Mr. Morrison,
who showed him favors here, had no
dea he was the kind of character he
as proved himself to be.
THE CONCERT.-The Concert of the
Silver Cornet Band, under the direction

On the 101st Anniversary of
American Independence.
We hail the happy Day, sacred to every
Patriot breast,
Hampton's now our Governor, and we're
greatly blest;
Our Fathers fought for Liberty and freed us
from the Lion,
And again we've been freed from a shrewd
Yankee scion.
May Heaven's blessing rest on every honest
man,
On the soil of Columbia, our once happy
land;
We've fought the good fight, we've cast off
our chains,
We've done it by labor, of body, purse and
brains.
And now the carpet-bagger may cut his stick
and slope,
Else he'll find around his neck a nicely-fitted
rope;
He was not invited, here to lie, to cheat and
to steal,
So march back to "hum," Jonathan, and eat
your own meal.
Now I beg of every man, on old Carolina's
soil,
To watch as well as pray-for bread and
meat to toil;
Don't go in debt, build -your corn cribs at
your homes,
Raise your own hog and hominy and pick
your own bones. [impromptu.]
OLD '76.
Roseboro, Laurens Co., S. C., July 4, 1877.
FOR THE HERALD,
ENOREE PLANTATION, So. CA.,
July 13th, 1877.
MESSRs. EDITOrs :-In my last letter I
stated that in my noxt one I would show
what the grasses and forage plants h.tve
done for other countries, and what if pro
perly cultivated they will do for us. To
our planters who have heretofore devoted
their attention exclusively to the cultivation
of cotton as a market product, I have no
doubt it will appear impossible when I tell
them of the four great products of the
world, viz: wheat, hay, cotton and tea, hay
is vastly the most valuable ; yet is is true.
While cotton and tea are local products,
h'ty is grown all over the world. In the
United States, according to the statistics of
1870, the hay baled and sold exceede I the
cotton crop of that year about $60,000,000,
yet that was only a small part of the grasses
compared with what was consumed in the
green and dried state on the plantations.
The immense value of this crop cannot be
estimated. It is the support of man and
beast the world over. The lands of this
county, in her best days of cotton culture,
did not average more than ten dollars per
acre. Now they would not command five
dollars. When we leave the Cotton States
and go North we find the lands selling at
from $50 to $200 per acre. Go to England,
HollaLd, Germany or Italy, and you will
find the lands of these countries selling
from $300 to $1,000 per acre, culminating
in the irrigated meadows of Lombardy,
where the annual re-it reaches $100 per
acre, their value increasing just in propor
tion to tile attention paid to the cultivation
of the grasses and forage plants. In Spain,
where they are neglected, the lands are
cheap. Let us come back to our onn country.
Are the lands of the North naturally better
than ours ? No. Is their climate better
than ours? No, but it is infinitely worse,
their lands being frozen or covered with snow
the entire winter. Is their labor cheaper?
Instead of being lower it is thrice as high.
Are their products more numerous than
ours and do they sell for higher prices ? No,
we can grow everything they do to equal if
not greater perfec'tioni, and we can grow
many things they cannot. Why then
are our lands so cheap and theirs so high ?
It is beca use of their cultivation of the
grasses and forage plants, and we not only
neglect to do it, but are fighting the grasses
as pests. Good pastures and heavy hay
crops are the support of large flocks and
herds. Large flocks and herds give large
quantities of manure. Quantities of manure
make rich lands and rich lands insure
heavy crops of grain and every other pro
duct of the soil. What give Virginia the
power during the late war to support not
only the grand army of the immortal Lee,
but largely the Northern army ? Was not

power to do it. It she had been a cotton
State how long could she have borne the
burden ? Scarely a day. I would not be
understood as advising onr people to cease
the cultivation of cotton. That would be
madness. Cotton always commands the~
cash, and having the power to cults e it
successfully we have a great advantag. a
those countries I have named. The course
I advise I ,shall pursue without delay. I
would gradually reduce the acreage in cot
ton and increase that of small grain,'and
commence at once to set the land in the
permanent grasses and forage plants, and
the improvement and inicrease of our flocks
and herds. Let us move slowly but surely.
If this is wisely done, in ten years our lands
will command from $50 to $100 per acre
What 'is more delightful to contemplate
than barnis and storehouses filled to reple
tion with provisions of every kind, the skip
ping kid and the capering lamb gamboling
over our hills and through our valleys car
peted with green the year round, and vast
herds of cattle marching to their accus
tomed places as the shades of eve are about
to shroud the earth in darkness, to pour
down at the bidding of the milkmaid the
richest beverages from well distended ud
ders All these thrings will follow a judi
cious cultivation of the permanent grasses
and forage plants. No longer then will
teams, now lank and lean, be goad.-d on
the road to Newberry to haul back a scant
supply of cern and bacon. No longer will
our tortured merchants be sad and sorrow
ful at their inability to furnish an impover
ished people with the necessaries of life at
one and a half per cent. a month. Let us
rouse ourselves to the realities by which we
are surrounded, and leaving the old rut
move Out into a new career. In my next
letter I will point out the grasses and forage
plants best suited to accomplish this good
work. I remain yours,

worse, is the inevitable result of continued
suspension of the menstrual flow. It is a
condition which should not be trifled with.
Immediate relief is the only safeguard against

WASRINGTON.-One of the noblest charac
teristics of the Father of his country, was
that in his boyhood when he had committed
an offense which was likely to bring the in
fliction of the severest punishment. he could
not tell a lie. I grieve to say that there are
reputable grocers and merchants who will
assure you that any other starch is as good
as the Duryeas'. The awards of the great
Centennial at Philadelphia have settled that
question, and they have proclaimed that as
against the starches of the world, there is
none equal to that manufactured by the Dur
yeas. They took the great medal at the
World's Exhibition, and they pronounced
their starch the best in the world. All re
spectable grocers keep it. Ask for Duryeas'
Improved Corn Starch, and Duryeas' Satin
Gloss Starch. Use it once and you will use
no other.
Obituary.
DIED, of Consumption, July 11th, 1877,
at the residence of Mr. L. Waters, at Ja
lapa, S. C., ALEX W. BoOZER, in the 25th
year of his age.
His amiable disposition and endearing vir
tues made him a general favorite; patience
and gentleness were his characteristic virtues
and always shone out with peculiar radiance.
Especially was this the case while confined
to his sick bed; not a murmur escaped him,
but at all times bearing calmly and patiently
his suffering. He was a tender, kind and
thoughtful husband, a dutiful and self-sacri
ficing son and an affectionate brother. The
skill of the best physicians and the untiring
attention and devotion of a loving wife and
faithful friends could not arrest this insidi
ous disease-all human help availed nothing;
he was ready for a purer and brighter clime,
and God took him to himself. During his
protracted illness, he gave his heart to Jesus,
and never was a mortal more comforted and
sustained by the presence of his blessed Sa
viour; he could talk of death with the utmost
comr 3ure, while all around him were weep
ing bitterly. Just before he breathed his
last, he called the family to his bedside, bade
them farewell and asked them to meet him
in Heaven. His sublime faith in his dear
Redeemer was truly beautiful. He died se
renely and with a hope full of immortality.
Yes, he had laid up his treasure in Heaven
and was prepared to meet his God. We
commend his wife and family to Jesus, who
alone can bind up the bleeding heart and
give the oil of joy for mourning.
"Soldier of Christ, well-done!
Praise be thy new employ;
And while eternal ages run,
Rest in thy Saviour's joy."
