DEATH FROM KEROSENE EXPLOSION.
-Saturday night two children-aged 9
and 7-of Richard Pitts, (col'd) at Hel
ena, attempted to kindle a fire with
kerosene oil. They poured the oil
from a tin can upon coals of fire on the
hearth. The can exploded, throwing
the burning oil upon their clothing.
They were soon wrapped in flames
from head to foot, and were burned in
a most horrible manner. The younger
one died six hours afterwards. The
older is still~ living, but there is very
little chance of its recovery.

THE PATRONSLINMARION-ADDRESS
OF W. G. M. J. H. LIPSCO31B-MARION,
S. C., August 22.-According to pre
vious announcement, Colonel J. N.
Lipscomb, of Newberry, addressed a
large and appreciative audience in the
Court House to-day, in the interest of
the Patrons of Husbandry, an order of
which he is the Worthy Grand Master.
I will not attempt to give even an out
line of the very sensible speech made
on the occasion. He showed in strong
colors and by close logic, the aims and
advantages of the order. His illustra
tions used in argument were apt and
cobclusive, and no doubt awakened an
interest in favor of the or der, hereto
fore unknown in this section of the
State.-Journed of Commerce.
Capt. Lipscomb also organized a Po
mona Grange in Darlington County
the 21st inst., and delivered an address
to the Grangers that is highly compli
mented by the Darlington papers.
DEATH FRO3I HYDROPHOBIA.-On
the morning of July 1st, Tommie, six
teen year old son of Mr. C. C. Teague,
living three miles from town, was bit
ten by a cat while feeding his father's
horses. The cat, which had always
been very gentle and kindly disposed,
followed the young man to the stable,
as it was accustomed to do, and while
lie was putting corn in the trough seized
him by the hand, planting his teeth deep
in the flesh, and retained his hold till lie
returned to the house and his father
choked it off. The wound was cauterized
by a physician an hour or two after
wards. The young man went about as
usual till last Friday, the 24th instant,
when the first sympt~oms of hydrophobia
appeared. He found it impossible to
swallow anything. This was followed
by co,nvulsions, occurring at intervals
of' about two or three hours. A breath

STONE HILL NOTES.
The crops in this section are suffering
at present from drought, being four
weeks since any rain. Cotton shedding
badly. The wheat crop, on account of
the ny, is scarcely an average. Oat
crop very short. Farmers, however,
are all cheerful, happy and contented
under "Home Rule."
Last week all the roads around here
were worked and put in good condition
for traveling.
Farmers and their hands are working
together peaceably, and are getting on
finely this year. The hands work well,
and.in return get treated well and paid
up promptly.
I have not heard of any stealing in
this corner lately-not even a chicken
nor an egg this year, The only reason
that I can give is, honesty; for wve are
not very particular in locking our out
buildings-some not even their kitchens.
Some farmers have lost some of their
best hogs, during the last few wveeks,
from cholera.
I regret that the cholera has killed a
great many chickens here this summer.
I am neither an editor nor a minister,
but yet I have a slight relish for fried
chicken.
There are some cases of sickness here,
but none serious; some fever, but most
ly colds.
We have an abundance of fruit this
season. Bome trees have 1oo much,
they are breaking dowvn.
We here in the Stoney Hills live
mostly now upon peach pie, milk and
butter. The ladies are busily engaged
in drying, canning and preserving
fruit for winter and spring.
From the number of young men that
are seen riding towards home early
Monday morning, and from other signs,
the ministers here will have a lively
time next fall. T.
If you are suffering tvith consumption,
Bronchitis, coughs, colds, croup, asthma,
loss of voice, and any lung affection,
call at Drug store and try one bottle of
Thrash's consumptive cure. Trial bot

WomAN's RIGHTs.-One who has long
studied this absorbing subject now presents
to the women of our country the result of his
investigations. He is happy to say that he has
at last discovered "Woman's Best Friend."
It is adapted especially to those cases where
the womb is disordered, and will cure any ir
regularity of the "menses." Dr. J. Bradfield's
Female Regulator acts like a charm in
"whites," or in a sudden check of the
"monthly courses," from cold, trouble of
mind or like causes, by restoring the dis
charge in every instance. So also in chronic
cases its action is prompt and decisive, and
saves the cons titution from countless evils and
premature decay. This valuable preparation
is for sale at $1.50 per bottle by all respectable
Druggists in the land. Prepared and sold by
Dr. J. Bradfield, Atlanta, Ga. A thousand
women testify to its merits.
MARIETTA, GA., March 22, 1870.

GLENN Si.T\s,
August 22, '77.
It is very dry at Glet,n's-the wea
ther not the spring-no rain having
fallen in four weeks, consequently
crops are suffering, and it is thought
by some of the Solons that cotton will
fall off at least half. Corn is fine.
The drought, however, has neither
affected the supply of water in the
spring nor the flow of spirits in the
guests. The first is pure and copious
as ever, always suggestive of Epsom
Salts, Magnesia, &c.; the other gay,
festive, delightful.
How different the scene some eight
years back under old A.'s administra
tion, whose table could only seat eigh
teen persons. If the nineteenth man
applied for accommodation he was
denied, no mat.r if he came in
angelic guise and from regions celes
tial, like the wandering Jew he must
go on. Well do we remember the old
couple, man and wife, who drove up at
nightfall on one occasior, begging to
be taken in. A. had eighteen already,
and of course they were refused ; luck
ily for them, they found shelter and
rest close by. Vastly different is it now,
a pleasant and comfortable change has
come over the spirit of the dream. Old
things are done away, and new things
have taken their places. Would that
the visitors, of that time were here
now-cabin holders as well as board
ers, they would be delighted to note
the improvement. The Messrs. Simp
son. father and son, are untiring in
their efforts to render their guests
happy and they have succeeded-every
one seems satisfied, and especially after
arising from the table. A good break
fast or dinner has the happiest in
'uence on man's heart-stomach we
should have said-and no better proof
f this is needed than to see two or
tree score of amen and women emerg
ng from the dining hall, the one com
placently pulling down thecir vests and
ently rubbing the parts so compla
ently affected; the others with arms
racefully akimbo and hands pressed
o waists,. which seem disposed to re
el against the constraints of their
arrow confines, endeavoring to keep
hings in proper trim.
Everybody on the hill is satisfied
with exception that the time- between
upper and breakfast is too long. This
arises from the desire to accommodate
the ladies, who have no love for "catch
ing the early wormi," and consequently
ndulge the delightful (to them) ope
ation of several foldings of the arms
f mornings for a little more slumber
nd sleep. The old fogies here object
o this, but it is pleasant to see their
wrinkles disappear as the bell rings
out a generous though late invitation
about nine o'clock.
Newberry has not only been more
largely represented at Glenn's than any
other county, but can claim the honor
f exhibiting the best looking men,
and to cap the climax the lion of the
season is our Mollohon hero E. S. C.
He is good at anything and everything
-the Spelling Bee would have proved
failure but for him, as he avers that
e can spell a word in two ways and
thinks Webster far behind the age.
A. pleasant little match of this kind
came off on. Monday night, in which
the ladies by feminine hocus pocussing
came off victors, even -turning down
our champion. He is invaluable to
the ladies and so is Willie E., without
them they would be sad. eyed and dull,
ad that would be a pity indeed, there
are so many charming fair ones here.
t is seldom that one sees so many
pretty women assembled together, and
what will be the final effect on C. is
haard to say, but as he is a married
man it is hoped that he will be able to
pull through safely. Your humble
servant and S. C. M. who lives over
the branch when at home, both recog
nizing the duty we owe to those we
have left behind, retire to the safe
shelter of cabin No. 2 left, when the
fire of bright eyes becomes too dan
2erous-we have been there before.
The cabins are more desirable as
sleeping apartments than is the hotel
for the quiet they afford, and for that
reason wve advise all who may yet come
here to choose them instead.
On Sunday last the visitors, and
such others of the country round who
were apprised of the fact, were treated
to an eloquent discourse in the hotel
dining room by the Rev. M. A.
Chrietberg. For that occasion an
ipromptu choir was arranged from
the splendid material on hand, and
he singing afforded would have put
o blush that of choirs of greater pre
tentions to excellence. Of course the'
Miss K., Miss E. S., and Miss J., the
latter of Newberry, have flne voices.
So prominent has C. become that we
have to bring him once iuo:e on the
carpet by saying that though he was
only given three days ere he would be
back in Newberry, he is here yet ;
this is attributable to the great femi
nine attractions at Glenn's, but for
this he would have been gone long ago.
Indisposition kept us indoors the best
of yesterday and to-day, but it is not re
gretted, as it has shown us the very best
parts of some of our friends, S. C. M.,
Maj. Peter H.,and others; their attention
and sympathy are highly appreciated
we never knew before half the kindness
of their natures. Quite an influx of new
arrivals to-day. They reached here,
unfortunately for Mr. B., who was des
perately hungry, just as the bell was
in the act of sounding for dinner.
Necessarily, there was a delay of some
ten minutes, and B. said, "did you ever,"
and sighed for a lodge in some vast
wilderness where he might cook his
own rice and have it hot.
Aside from three meals a day, sleep
ing and visits to the spring, the amuse
ments are cribbage, whist, ten-pins,
spelling bees, reading, Masonic inita
tions, spirit rappings, etc., the ladies
being prominent in all except the two
first, and "hop-scotch" and other inter
esting games introduced by E. S. C.
these though are not likely to become
popular, and we must fear that the
originator will lose ground.
We omitted mention in our last that
Mrs. Ward, another representative of
Newberry, is here, spending a few
weeks with our good old friend Mrs.
Bobo at the cross roads-her friends
will be pleased to learn that she is well
and that her daughters are even more
charming in their developing woman
hood than when we saw them last in
girlhood.
If there is a widow here we have not
ascertained the fact. It is strange and
unaccountable-never before have we
passedso many days from home with
out enjoying the witching charms qf
one or more of this-interesting class. It
is a consoling reflection, though, that
that pleasure was ours on the trip up to
Spartanburg, but the fates so ordered
that we had to leave her behind at
mine host Calcutt's Hampton House.
She is in good hands-a capital house
is kept by Calcutt.
Carrier, Mills & Carson will convey
the traveler comfortably and at moder
ate rates from Spartanburg to Glenn's,
and like good business men they are al
ways ready and properly prepared for
that purpose. Their stable is the largest
in the place, and their stock adequate
in number and condition for all emer
gencies. This is the experience of all
who have tried them. With these de
sultory paragraphs, we are, as ever,
yours.
FOR THE HERALD.
Sheep, Goats, Turnips.
RosEn3oRo', L AcGREYs Co., S. C.,
Aug. 2 1st, 187'7.
MESsSsRs. EDIroRs : I wrote an article oni
7th July, on the importance of the pea vine
as a fertilizer to our planters, sowed after
harvesting small grain, as well as rearing
sheep, goats and turnips for winter food,
but it was delayed until too late for sowing
peas and therefore was not published in the
IIERALD. I, now, would suggest to our
planteis to save plenty of seed peas for the
ensuing year to sow as a fertilizer, and buy
sheep and goats, if they have none, and
rear as many as may be practicable on their
waste lands. I. have been a planter and
raiser of live stock since 1822 up to 1868,
and know of what I am writing. Land
owners urge as an objection to the rearing
of .shmeep in this State, that the sheep-kill
ing dogs and hungry negroes render it im
practicable. They can obviate the obstacle,
as to dogs, by memorializing our next Legis
lature to enact a law, taxing every dog but
one, on each plantation, and on every resi
dence in town or city, at least ten dollars,
and requiring ownersof such dogs to confine
it to his enclosure, except when following
him or his agent, and also in the event of
live stock being killed by said dog or dogs
running at large to hold him responsible in
the amount of ten times the value of such
stock killed by said dog or .dogs. The
planter, I think, could after such stringent
law was eniacted, be safe in his investment
in sheep, goats and hogs. I clipped from
the News and Courier a slip in which
it was stated that in the County of
Darington, the valuation of the dogs
amounts to nearly four times as much as
that of sheep and goats. As to the latter
they are' said to be jumpers. A reliable
gentleman in Richiland County said to me
last year, that his goats never jumped his
fences. He kept theum running with his
cattle, and they became so fond of them
they scarcely ever left them, and when
they did, they never rested until they found
them. The food of cattle, sheep and goats
differs in some degree, and therefore the
same pasture will suffice for all, but should
be exchanged for another every two or
three months alternately. All three can be
penned at night in the same lot. The drop
pings from sheep and goats will fully repay
their cost, feed and attention. If the whole
flock amounts to one hundred head, an old
man and dog should be employed to attend
them. I1 knew a planter who never fed his
sheep or goats, and I noticed them in fair
condition by feeding, as he told me, on
green pine leaves and what green grass
they could fin d in large tufts of sedge grass,
and salting them once a week. Turnips
should be r4ised in quantities to feed them
through the Winter months, if intended for
market, or for the table. The old Winter
variety, also the Ruta Baga, and Aberdeen,
I found the best for Winter use. They
keep well through Winter by stacking like
the sweet potato, or they can be fed to
sheep and cattle by digging them, washin'g
and cutting them in pieces to suit. Or
sheep can be penned on a small lot at a
time by moveable fences, easily done.
Turnip seed can be sown as late as the
10th of September; earlier, better and yield
abundantly on a rich soil, plowed orspaded
deeply, and cultivated with one plowing
and hoeing. Their yield is greater, when
well cultivated, than any esculent produced
in our climate, except the beet,.which should
also be produced here for stock. Our root
crops are too much neglected. Potatoes,
turnips and beets require less labor than the
cereals, and their yield is at least ten fold.
One of rmy neighbors produced 426 bushels
of s weet potatoes on one acre of poor sandy
land, which would not, perhaps, have pro
duced more th.au ten bushels of corn. I
have seen it stated that 800 to l,000I bush
els of turnips and~ beets have been produced1
on one acre of laud somewhere in the Uni
te d States--perhaps more. Stay here. We
have the best Governor in the United
Sitates. Help him to build up our old poor
State.
Messrs. Editors, if you think the above
worthy a place in your valuable journal
and have space, you can give it to your
readers, or condemn it to the waste basket,
where many others have found a resting
place; never to see the lightaga~n. Pardon
FOR THE HERALD.
MOLLOHON, Aug. 17, 1877.
MEsSRS. EDITORS: Starting out on
Thursday, the 16th, to see the crops
in this neighborhood, and hearing of a
picnic at Wicker's Spring, on Indian
Creek, we made in that direction with
a few friends. We soon arrived at the
place, and found good seats and a long
table in a nice grove. The picnic was
given for the benefit of a Sunday
School. The little fellows soon began
to arrive with the Superintendent, Mr.
Jenkins, and Teachers' McCullough,
Baker and others. After all had ar
rived Rev. J. D. Shirey was invited to
address the Sunday School, which he
did by showing the boys and girls what
they could and what they should do.
He was followed by Mr. G. B. Cromer
in a very eloquent address to the older
heads; after which the baskets were
pitched from every direction. In a
short time the long table was filled to
overflowing with all kinds of good
things. After all were through-and
all made good hands-there was plenty
for as many more. Mr. Editor,
when I saw the quantity of fried chick
en I wished you had been there. It
was pleasant to be at such a gathering.
Everybody was in high glee. Not a
drop of the "woe begone" to addle the
head.
The Renwicks and Carlisles should
be proud of their tenants, from the
looks of their crops on Indian Creek.
MOLLOHON.

A Result of Obstructed Diges
tion.
I mong the hurtful consequences of obstruct
ed digestion, is the impoverishment of the
blood, and since a deteriative condition of the
vital fluid notonly produces dangerous organ
ic weakness, but, according to the best medi
cal authorities, sometimes causes asphyxia,.it
is apparent that to improve the quality of the
blood by promoting digestion and assimila
tion, is a wise precaution. Hostetter's Stom
ach Bitters is precisely the remedy for this
purpose, since it stimulates the gastric juices,
conquers those bilious and evacuative irreg
ularities which interfere with the digestive
processes, promotes assimilation of the food
by the blood, and purifies as well;as enriches
it. The signs of improvement in health in
consequence of using the Bitters are speedily
apparent in an accession of vigor, a gain in
bodily substance, and a regular and active
performance of every physical function.
