IV..NO. 33 VAR IET Y The Homestead Law as Applicable to Prior Debts and Judgment, not Uuconttiiutional Judgo Orr, in the appeal taken before bin? in the onso of thc creditors of T. K. Ware, ha.i decided that tho homestead clause of t o % Constitution of this ?State and.thc Act cf the Lcgislatuo carrying it out, aro not in conflict with tho Constitution of thc United States. Thc Judgo has given an able opinion on thc subject, which wo lay before our readers. Tho case, by consent, was heard at chambers at Audcrson. Thc Judge has decided in tho samo case that thc 81,000 is inclusivo of thc value of thc dwelling house and outbuildings, ?nnd tho appraisement hnving excluded thc cstimato of tho dwelling in this caso and as signed 81,000 in land, a rc-apprniscincnt was ordered. The following is thc opinion in full : IM THE COIJltY OK COMMON VT.F.AS-CUIKEN Vir.T.K COUNTY. A. D. Hoke and T. Q. Donaldson, Admin istrators oj' David Hoke vs. T. E. Ware lit Fi Ea.. 82,555 ; interest, computed an il itally from 10th Jane, 1850. 2d Fi Fa., $1,000; interest cont pitted annually from 24dh September, 1850. Thc second execution above was levied up on certain lots and rcrd estate, the property of thc defendant, by thc Sheriff of Q roon viii o county, including a tract or lot of land in thc '.town of Greenville, containing thirty acres, moro or less, adjoining W. A. Townes <nd others." Upon this tract of land thc dwelling and out-houses of tho defendant were situa ted. He claimed that his homestead should bo set off to him and personal property of thc vnluo of five bundled dolla/s, in eouformif" to thc provisions of an A?t of thc Goner I Assembly, entitled "AnAct to determine and perpetuate thc Honiorfoad," passed 0th day of September, 1308 Three appraisers were appqintod-one b*/thc plaintiffs, one by thc defendant, and tie third by thc Sheriff, Vick ors. Tho appraisers set off by metes and bounds a homestead of tho estate of thc debt or, with a description and plat of tho same, also personal property of thc value of five hundred dollars, and made separate returns of thc same, certifying thc execution of their duties conformably to law, to tho Sheriff, for record in Court. Thc phi in ti fis in execution have filed various grounds of objection to theso returns of thc appraisers, and ask of this Court a rc-nssig.uncut and rc-nppraiscmcnt of thc real and personal property of the debtor. Thc objection!* of thc plaintiffs, when ana lysed, may bo reduced to threo : First, that tho Homestead Law is unconstitutional as tc liens oxisting at thc date of its passage. Sec ond, that in tho valuation and assignment ol tho porflonnl property, injustice is done tc plaintiffs, because thc cstimntcd valuo of thc pomonal property is greatly below its markcl value. Third, that thc real cstato assigned and set off greatly exceeds in value tho sun of ono thousand dollars, and that in making such estimate, tho appraisers did not take inte tho estimate tlic valuo of tho dwelling house and thc outbuildings connected tb*? row itt and incident thereto. Tho first objection is overruled. Thc State of South Carolina had no Constitutional ex istenco from tho close of tho war in April 1865, until July, 1SG8 when representation under, and in conformity to tho ileconstvuc tion Acts of Congress, was admitted.

They assembled in Convention and adopted a Constitution, which according to thc provisions of thc Recon struction cYotSof Congress, was a mere nullity, unless Congicss accepted tho same after its ratification by tho people of the State, inclu ding tho new citizens. Thc people of thc State ratified tho Constitution by a majority very docisivc, and Congress accepted it as presented, and thereupon admitted thc State to representation in both Houses of Congress. If tho Homestead provision had been objec tionable to Congress applying to existing liens at thc dato of thc adoption of thc Constitu tion, it would doubtless have been excepted to iu thc Act admitting thc State to repre sentation, ns was dono by Congress with ref oren co to certain features iu thc Constitution of Cl corgis. Thc view now presented, that tim Home stead Act, ss to liens existing at thc date of the adoption of tho Constitution, violates that clause of the Constitution of tho United States which prohibits any State from passing "any law impairing tho obligation of contracts," would seem to he.fully met and answered by tnc foregoing statement of tho history of thc enactment. Rut, thc objection may be answered very satisfactorily by this view of the question : Suppose thc Constitutional Convention in Charleston, in January, 1808, had refused to recognize any lien whatever, (whether mort gage or judgment,) given or created, or any property by or under thc provisional rebel or ante-war governments that had existed in South Carolina, and directed all officers crea ted by their Constitution to refuse to enforce such liens, could its power have been ques tioned, and if so, how and before what tribu nal could the liens have been enforced '( Now, if they could have ignored all liens by de clining to provide for their enforcement, what prevented thc Convention from recognizing thc liens with such conditions as their judg ment esteemed wise and prudent? to wit: If a mortgage or judgment obtained under a former government was recognized by a votiug population totally different from thc popula tion that was represented in thc former gov ernment, that thc lien should bo enforced subject to thc claim of the defendant in exe cution or mortgago to a homestead of thc value of one thousand dollars. Thcso views might bc elaborated and sustained by thc de cisions in New York, Michigan, North Caro lina, Georgia and other States, but it is not considered necessary to pursue the matter further in this case. The Homestead Act of this State carrying into effect the provision of the Constitution of this State, Article IL, Section 32, providing a homestead for thc head of each family in this Stato, aud thc Constitutional provision itself, is not n viola, tion of the provision of thc Constitution of thc United States, which prohibits any Stato from passing any law impairing tho obligation of cou tracts, and that tho same is constitu tional. 2. Thc objection to thc Valuation of thc personal property by thc appraisers is over ruled. No cVidt?neo has bceen nrcscntcd that tho personal property of thc debtor, "Ware, has been estimated below its val?o, or that any error or fraud has been committed by tho appraisers. As to tho personal property claimed h? a third party, it is sufficient to soy tbfti it hos not"bccn assigned to tho debtor; and if tho plaintiffs deny tho right of prop erty and tho bona fulct of tho claimant. . This Court, therefore, declines to order a ro-va?uation and rc-assignment of tho porg? nal estate mado by tho appraisers to tho debt or, amounting to fivo hundred dollars, and act forth in their return. 3d. Tho objection taken to tho valuation ci' "ho homestead of tho debtor is sustained. Tho affidavit* submitted by thc plaintiffs and defendants aro convicting ns to tho market valuo of tho homestead, out buildings and lands appurtenant. Ono of tho affiants fixing tho value at 8750, and anothor at 85,000. Other affiants estimate various int?i'mcdiato sums. Tho weight of testimony shows' that tho dwelling, out-houses and lands, aro worth moro than ono thousand dollars. Tho 32 Section of tho II Articlo of tho Constitution of this Stato, desoribes with rotnarkablo precision what is intended to ho embraced ns tho homestead for each hoad of a family. It says : "Such homostcad, con sisting of dwelling hon.se, out buildings and lands appurtenant, not to exceed tho vnluo of ono thousand dollars," &o., "shall bo oxonipt from nttaohmont', levy or salo," &o. Tho 1st Section of .tho Aot, passed 0th Scptombor, 1868, entitled "an Act to deter mino and porpotuato tho Homcstoad," is not less explicit. Whoro tho real ostato is levied on, being thc houicatoad, auoh as such perm * may select, not to exceed tho value of ono thousand dollar?, to bo set olf," &o.; and in tho samo section, in giving directions to the appraisers, they shall "set off by metes and bounds a homestead of tho estate of thc debt or, &0., not to exceed tho yaluo of ono thou sand dollars," &o. It is insisted in this case, that, in making thc appraisement, no estimate should be made of tho value of thc dwelling house and out buildings, and that thc homestead Encans thc lands appurtenant to thc buildiugs alone. If this interpretation should bc adopted, land without a dwelling could bc assigned. And yet, it is not susceptible of a doubt that thc Constitution and law was intended to secure to tho family a homo and shelter against all contingencies. It is said again, that if tho dwelling and out buildings are not excluded from thc csti. mate that an unfortunate, debtor whoso dwcl ! ling and outbuildings exceed one thousand I dollars in value, would bc excluded from all benefits from the Act. It is con ceded that tho legislation on this point is defective, and that some provision should be made where tho debtor's dwelling is worth moro than ono thousand dollars, to retain for him in trust that sum when sold, to purchase f. " cstcad j but this argument cannot be al low?, to overthrow and defeat the plain pro visions of the Constitution and Act already quoted. lt may bc that appraisers would bo author ized on examining a dwollingor out-buildings, and concluding thc same was worth more than ono thousand dollars, that they would bi authorized to appraise only and assign only i part of the dwelling and out-buildings, or ever certain rooms, as a homestead. In this ca.se, one of the appraisers, in hil affidavit, states that, in making his estimate of thc homestead of thc debtor, ho did no hicludc thc dwelling and out-bnilings, am that thc thousand dollars, worth of real est?t assigned to the debtor "consisted of lands np purtcnant to thc homestead." This statement of thc appraisers, as to tin basis of tho estimate in making the appraise mont, and thc affidavits submitted as to tin value of thc real estate assigned, being in ex cess of thc amount allowed by law, require mc to order, and it is hereby ordered, tim a rc-appraiscmcnt and ro-assignmcut of th homestead of thc dob'or, T.

Tho Gow Pea a? a Fertilizer for Wheat. We hnvc long been satisfied, from actual experiment, that tho common cow pea of the Southern States, when properly managed, afford thc best and, at tho same time, thc cheapest medium for tho restoration of our exhausted cotton fields. Its effects have been as lasting and as marked upon the fer tility of our soils as that of clover upon thc worn and exhausted lands of Virgil h and Maryland. Thc main reason why tho cow pea has not been heretofore extensively used as a fertilizer was owing to-thc fact that previous to eman cipation our planters would not give up a suf ficient portion of their lands to await tho rather slow effects of this moat valuable fer tilizer. Now, however, when every planter has a large proportion of his poor lands lying idle, there is no excuse why tho pea should not bc sci in every field not absolutely nec essary for corn or cotton. Now is tho best time to plant thc pea, and we desire to give our agricultural friends thc reside of a careful experiment made by a planter in O win nett county to encourage thom to make similar efforts. Our Qwinnctt planter had a piece of old exhausted land, twenty acres of which had been lying in Broom sage for a number of years. This bc broke deep with a turn plow in the Summer, and in thc succeeding Vail put down in wheat. Thc crop, carefully measured, was a little less than four bushels to thc acre. As soon as thc wheat was cut he sowed peas at tho rate of two bushels to thc Herc Karly in October thc pens were turned un der with a deep furrow, and a few weeks later wheat was sowu and carefully harrowed in upon the pea sod. Thc yield from thc crop was niue bushels to tho acre, a little more than double tho lirst year's crop. Tho field was again sown in peas os soon ns the wheat was harvested and turned under ns before in thc Fall, and wheat sown upou thc soil, 'JL he yield this year was seventeen und a half Ins/ich. Thc fourth year, with thc "same treatment, he made twenty- seven bushels, and this (thc fifth year) the crop bids fair to make forty bm-hels. Nothing lins been applied to thc land as a fertilizer except thc pea, and wo find that in five years, with the cow pea alone, thc production has been increased ten fold. This actual experiment speaks moro for thc pea than any argument which we could make. Wo trust rome of our planting friends will bc induced lo 'ry tho pea on thc next crop of wheat and let us know thc result of their experiment. Girls Should Learn to Keep House. No young lady can bo too well instructed in anythiug which will affect the comfort of a family. Whatever position in society sho occupies, she needs a practical knowledge of househo J duties. She may bc placed in such circumstances that it will not bo necessary for hoi lo perform much domestic labor ; but on this account sha needs no less kuowlcdgo than if sho was obliged to presido personally over the cooking stove aud pantry. Indocd, I have thought it was moro diflioult to diroot others, and requires moro experience, than to do the samo work with our own hands. Mothers aro frequently so nice and partic ular that they do not like to give up any part of thc caro to their ohildren. This is a great mistako in their management; for they aro often hardonod with labor and need rcliof. Children should bo carly taught to make themselves useful ; to assist their parents ov cry way in their power, and to consider it a privilege to do so. Young people cannot renliac tho importance of a thorough knowledge of housowifory ; but these who have suffered tho inconvenience and mortification of ignorance can well appro oiato it. Children should bo early indulged in their disposition to bako and experiment in various ways. It is often but a troublcsomo help that they afford ; still it is a great ad vantage to them. I know a littlo girl who at nino years old made a loaf of broad every wcok during tho winter. Her mother taught her how much yeast, salt and flour to use, and ? she becamo quito an expert baker. When ever she is disposed to try hor skill in making simple cakes or pies she ispormittcd to do .so. Sho is thus, whilo amusing horsolf, learning an important lesson. Hor mother oalls her, her littlo houso koopor and often permits hor to get what is necessary for tho tablo. Sho hangs tho koys by hor sido, and very musioal is tho jingling to her cars. I think before she is out of her teens, upon which sho has not yot entered, that sho will have some idea how to cook. Somo mothers givo tlioir daughters tho caro of housekeeping, oach a week by tums. It seems to mo a good arrangement and a most useful part of thcic cducaliou. Bomes tio labor is by no means incompatible .with thc highest dogroo of refinement and mental culturo. Many of tho most elegant, accom plished woroon I havo known havo looked well to their household duties, and hate hou orcd themselves and their husbands by so doing. The Akt of Affecla'iorf. There is a certain Uko lr nd of affectation very common among pretty women ; nud this is thc affectation of not knowing that they arc pretty, and not recognizing thc effect of their beauty on men. Take a woman with be wildering eyes, say, of a maddening size nnd shape, and fringed with long lashes that dis tract you to look at ; thc creature knows that her eyes arc bewildering, as well ns she knows that fire burns and that ico melt; she knows tho effect of that trick she has with them thc sudden uplifting of tho heavy lid, and thc swift, full gaze that she gives right into a man's eyes. She has practiced it often in thc glass, and knows to a mathematical nicety the exact height to which a lid must be raised, and thc exact fixity of thc gaze.? She knows thc whole meaning of tho look, and stirring of men's blood that it creates; -but if you speak to her of thc effect of her trick, she \ puts on an air of tho extremest innocence? j and protests her entire ignorance ns to any" thing her eyes may say or mean ; and if you press her hard she will look nt you in thc same way for her own benefit and deny at thc very moment of offeuce. Various other tricka has she with those bewildering eyes of hers -each more perilous than ?T?c other to men's peace; and all unsparingly employed, no mat ter what thc result. For this ia thc woman who flirts to her extreme limits, then sudden, ly draws up and says sho meant nothing. Step by step she has lcd you on, with looks aud smiles, and pretty phrases susceptible of two meanings, thc one for the ear by the more word, the other for the heart by thc occom plishments of looks and manner which arc intangible : step by stop she has drawn you deeper and deeper into the maze where she has gone before ns your decay ; when sho has you safe she raises her eyes for tho last time, complains that you have mistaken her cruelly, and that she has meant nothing more than any ouc else might mean; and wliatcan she do to repair her mistake ? Love you ? marry you ? No ; she is engnged to your rival, who counts his thousands; and what a pity that you had not seen this all along, and that you should have BO misunderstood her ? Besides, what is thcro about bt v that you or any ono should love ? Of all tho many affectations of women, this affectation of their own heart lessness when beautiful, and of their inno oenco of design when they practice their arts for thc discom forturc of men, is tho most dan gerous and thc most disastrous. But what can ouo say to them 7 Tho very fact that thoy arc dangerous disarms a man's anger and blinds bis perception until too late. That men lovo though they suffer is woman's triumph, guilt, and condemnation ; and so long as tho triok succeeds Itwiiibe praotioed. Another affectation of tho same family is tho oxtromo friendliness apd familiarity which some women adopt in their manners toward men. Young girls affect an almost maternal tono to boys of thoir. own ago, ono year or so older j and they, too, when thoir ciders remon strate, declaro thoy moan nothing, and how hard it is they may not bo natural. This form of affectation, onoo begun, continues throughout lifo, being too convenient to be lightly disoarded ; and youthful matrons not long out of thoir teens assume a tone and way that would about bofit middlo ago counsel ling giddy youth, and that might by chanco bo dangerous even then if tho "Indian Sum mer" was specially bright and warm.
