Thovo aro but fow of our roadcrs who bavo not o clear conooptiou of what thc term, pataul me dicines, inoludcs. All nostrums, willoh euro cvory ill to which human flesh ls heir and pre vont tho inroads of now and unknown disonsos, aro termed patent medicines, and oro advertised and sold to tho credulous. They claim to bo euro-oils and provo goncrally to bo curo-nolhings. The adv?calos of feucing slock como very near making tho stock law a paient medicine iu rela tion to Us uumcrous virtuos, both in saving ex penses lo tho farmers of thc Slate and in creating profit to thom. Its virtuos aro both negativo and positive, ouralivc and preventivo, local and general. Its advocates claim that thc farmers, under its benign operations, will save in a few years, without any additional labor, enough money now oxpended in fencing, lo mako Hiern indopondently wealthy. Their stock will bo im proved in quality and value, and will live on an unknown quantity of nothing. Their crops will bo fully protected from tho depreciations of bob tailed bulls, raia goals and peach-orchard shoats, aud tho farmer will sloop in peaceful plenty, a fow yoars rcudering it ncccscary to erect other aad broader barns lo contain his increasing products. Oh! what a millcnlum thc stock law will provo lo thc farmer. There will be nocd of hearing cuss words about crops destroyed by slock, for cvory man's cow and yearling will bask under its ownor's vine and fig tree, with ?ono to molest or make Hiern afraid. Thcro will ho no more troublo about taxes, for thc farmer will mako from Ibo land oovcrcd hy thc crooks I of his fence moro than enough to pay his taxes, and heneo bc will pay thom and bless thc Le gislature which gave him a strip of his own land to cultivate. There will no louger bo any anxiety about our great, great, great, great, (grandchildren lo Ibo twentieth generation freez ing to doalh for want of wood, for wo under tho utock law will pr?vido against such a contin gency. In fact, thc advocates of the law sec in it nothing bul good lo thc whole people, while fow if any ure found lo speak a word of caution as to Ibo vital change its adoption will work in tho agricultural interests of thc county, and thc importauco of weighing tho maller well before venturing upon tho change. Wc nrc interested in whatever will best promote Mic interests of tho farmers, and were wc fully satisfied this law would eo operate, (hen wc would advocate it. Wo do not know which is host-, thc present or proposod system of fencing, mid henco until con vinced wo prefer lo venture upon no change. "Tills is always n wiso course in matters of grent importauco to a whole community. lt is doubly doubtful whether it is wisc for a township or even a county to adopt thc low. Think first of the expenso of fencing' a whole township, and thou in addition oach oitizeu Of J that township fonciug pastures for his stock. Think noxt of tho largo number of gates lo bc kept up aad to bo kept closed, tho former of Which is cxpensivo aud tho latter difficult. Tki?k farther of Ibo large number of waler gaps ut crooks, &.C., lo bo kept iu order. Tho town chip has this todo, and if n gale is left open ond slock enters nacl destroys a crop who is responsible? Not thc owner of the ?lock, unless ho opoucd or loft open tho gate. Tho township must keep a lawful fence and the large number of gales nt public roads closed, or its citizens cnn hnvo no remedy against (ho d?pr?dations of J tho slock of adjoining land owners. Who can estimate (ho amount, of litignation and ill feeling this may engender? As a Slato measure, or ns n mensuro lo bo adopted by a number of adjoining couutics, thc question would bo freed of many of its diflhultius and objectionable features. It would then stand Ob Bs merits os a chango beneficial or injurious to the farming interests of tho county. As a local, or township measure, it should not bo adopted oxcept after gravo consideration and pressing reasons. It is useless lo deny but Hint much con be said on bolh sides of tho question. Tho adv?cales for tht ohango in Anderson and oilier intorlor counties hnvo boon vory activo, whilo vory fow have said aught in opposition. Tho argumonls in favor of tho change aro often specious anl J Spun out to a frazzle, and many of thom aro linked assertion.-, of tho individual. Il in amus ing lo hear as a reason against tho present law tko Increased production from tho land oovcrcd by tho crooks of thc fence, or in this county thc saving of llmbor whon tho whole county is comparatively au unbroken forest, and Ibero aro few formers but arc paying lo havo limbor cut off their laud. That (lie cost of fencing is greater (han thc value of all our slook will hardly bo swallowed by aroflocllng mind.

Spirit. Nothing ia moro commendable in a town or community than tho cultivation of u Hboral spirit towards all ontorprlsos of a public character, whothor tho; look to tho promotion' Of tho moral, tooial, intellectual or peouniory advanoomont of tho ci ti zo na. . Not only -iV audi a epirit oommondable, buVjts praotico, raroly fails to roturn with IntcresTto tho town or community nlHuvostmonts in tho lino of 8nob enterprises. Tho progroes of a liberal public spirit in Walhalla has boou inarkod for tho past ten yoars, and its growth should bo encouraged, ns promotivo of tho true interests of our citi zens, lu ton years wo havo expanded up? wards of ton thousand dollars, raised by vol untary donations, ia buildings and improve ments for tho pabilo good, nnd whoro is tho subscriber to-day who feels pooror by his liberality, or who would rccal his subscription and destroy tho good it has accomplished. A considerable part of tho cost of tho Court House and jail was raised by subscription. Tho present col lego buildings havo boon purchased, tho Baptist and Presbyterian Churches have boon built and repairs made on othor churches by subscription. Prom a small vi Hage with n hotel, a few stores aud an in** different school, Walhalla has au intelligent, active population, four churches, a college and a number of small schools, good instruo* tors in music and tho Une arts, and offors induce ments to sottlcrs socking a good sooioty with good school and church facilities. Tho advan tages secured to our town by tho liberal spirit of her citizens in tho past cannot bo estimated in dollars and cents. Without such a spirit no money could givo our pooplo their present status. Besides tho permanent local good thus already accomplished, tho fruits of this spirit aro standing invitations to tho introduc tion of labor and oapital into tho county. It is natural that bottlers with capital should seek localities whero educational and church facilities can bo had, aud labor seeks both capital and these advantages. Thc Vault cc, it is said, is close and tnkos caro of tho pocket, but no pooplo aro moro liberal in public ontorpriscs which promote tho moral and intellectual interests of acorn? m unity than thoso of tho North. They appreciate tho value of such investments and ontcr into them ns a business speculation, feeling confident they will pay. They havo always paid at tho North and will pay hore. Wo uccd moro public spirit. It should pervade tho pooplo of tho entire county in a largor degree, aud should lead them to give liberally to all good purposos. A dose and narrow? minded man, whothor ho bo merchant, farmer or other calling, never rises above a bare com? pctcuco in money, and in social and intellect? uni acquirements is a cipher or a bigot. Tho same is truo of a town or a community mado up of mon of contracted views. To soil a farm well you must render it nttrootivo by adding to its fertility and by cultivating fruits and flowers nnd whatever will add to tho pleasure or comfort of tho owner. To moko a community or town desirable as a placo of rcsidonco, tho people must provide church and educational facilities and cultivate that spirit which rendors tho inhabitants social and agreeable Money invested in facilities for education will always repay a peoplo ten fold and for nil timo to como. Now let all our citizens, both in town and county, think what has been accomplished by a liberal spirit in good enterprises in tho past, nnd lot them not woury in well doing, bul opon out their hearts nnd purses for tho now Collcgo now being organized. Tho county lins hcrctoforo helped us, and now let them not withhold their aid. A Collcgo hoi O will foster a spirit of education, which will pervade the entire county, and its good influence will bo felt for beyond lite confines of tho Slato itself. In a moral, social nnd educa* lional point of view ita infiuenco will bc wholesome, while no thinking man cnn doubt but it will benefit all our people in a monetary point, both in inviting labor and capital to thc county nnd in thc increased valuo of Ibo lauds. THU ClRANCil*. Wc again impress upon thc Masters of subordinate Granges in this County tho duty of calling their members together and reviving thc Order. Tho mooting of thc .State Orango in Anderson on thc Sib of August will bo of general interest, and every Orango should he represented. Much might bo learned nnd much fresh interest in tho Order might bc created by thc assembling of lending members from different parts of tho Stntc, and thc discussion o? questions of gonornl interest to tho farming class. We feel assured there is good in the organization, if our pooplo will only tako hold of it and avail themselves of its houefits. Thr.ro is a general wish to obtain some of tho pecuniary benefits of tho Order by establishing ngonoics or co-oporntivo stores in tho County. Much might he learned by some of our well informed Patrons nttend ing at Anderson nud conferring with Patrons from oilier Counties whore theso systems have been tried. Bosidcs, tho subjects for discus sion at Andereon arc well selected nnd ol great general intorest at this time No ono can fail to bo benefited by such discussions. Among tho subjects wo notice ono which wc trust will not only bo discussed, but that some notion will bo takon by tho Ornngos whereby our next L?gislature will bo induced to re enact tho usury laws. Wo havo no hopo of this much needed legislation unless it bo taken up and prosscd by tho Oranges. Tho farmers oro tho most oppressed by tho present law and they uro most interested in tho restoration of tho old laws governing Intorost on money. Whatever ruto per cent, may bo oxaetod from tho merchant or manufacturer or other pro fession or avocation, it is added to tho profit charged against Ibo consumer, who is- ulti mately tho funner. Not only is tho farmer compelled to refund to nil others tho high-rate of interest they pay, but ho \i himself, when compelled tc borrow', obliged'td pay a difoot rato which ho'can 'nov?r hdpo to roaliz? from agriculture Tho press nhd'thc lo?dini? toon in towns and bltio? oUhorown bank stock or aro subsidized or blindad as to tho truo.lntorost of Um oountry, so that tho advooatosof tho usury law aro few- livery effort to ro*ooaefr thom is mot nt tho outset by specious argu ments which blind tho uninformed . and keep tho fi?nn(*'o* qdiot;' Now if the .

Lot ?B return to first principles. Lot UB acok woalth and prospority in tho pathway whiob led our fathers to success in tho saato undor takiog. At prosont money bas no fixed valuo. To doy it ls worth 15 por cent, and to morrow it brings 25 por cont. From this man 18 por cont, is demanded and from that man 24 per cont, is oxaotcd. Its valuo dopende on tho omorgoncy in whiob tbo borrower is placed, his necessities and not tho soavuity of raonoy fixing tho por cont. Tho unsottlod valuo of | money causon tho valuo of ovory thing'oise to bo uusottlod. Thora is no cortainty in nny thing euro in tho powor of tho capitalist to ruin tho uocdy farmers, whilo ho is doing and has dono nothing for tho good ot tho Stato. Lot tho Ornngos tako hold of-this, one groat Bulyjcot, and Bocuro tho ro-oiinct mont of tho usury laws, and in a short limo our country will begin to prosper. S en Killie WordH, Tho Charleston News and Courier, in speaking approvingly of tho chango of schod ulo, whorcby a daily connection is established botweon Charleston nud tho up country, adds tho following scnsibl advice to tho merchants of that city: "Lot our merchants bo equal to tbo occasion; lot them bo olive to tho favorn bio opportunity for increasing thoir trado; lot every station in tho up country, affected by tho chango, bo nt once filled with Charleston drummers, and every paper filled with Char lesion advertisements, and their business trill al once receive an impetus that will carry them Jar on the road to fortune." Charleston begins to feel sensibly the effect of ucglecting to invito tho trade of tho up country. Sonic years ago tho nomos and business of tho lending wholesale houses of that city were familiar ns well to our leading citizens as to tho merchants of thc county, whilo now thc ox istonco of tho city itself is only thought of ns n place of former trade. Our merchants louk towards Atlanta, Now York, Baltimore and oven Charlotte for most of their trade, whilo a largo class of privato citizens, who formerly ordered thoir family supplied from Charleston merchants, have lost tho names of houses dealing in family groceries. Tho over cautious and narrow minded merchant may regard advertising as useless exponso, but to observers tho business o? such merchants is a ?low dragging tindo of doubtful character while tho livo, active, ndvertising merchant shows businoss activity both in his stock and in bis happy countenance Advertising is to business success what tho refreshing showers aro to tho growing crops. Tho advertising columns of a paper furnish nu index to thc trade and to tho character of tho business o a town, and to a metropolis, which hopes to extend its business, advertising is ii necessity Charleston ought to retain the trade of thc up country. It baa tho advantage of a direct and unbroken connection, quick transit, and surely it can successfully compete with tho jobbors of Now York and Baltimore. There should, and is, n natural inclination on tim part of our people, other things being equal, to pa I ron i/o Charleston. Let that city, then, open nut bor arms and make a bold elici t to reclaim her former trado. lt is certainly worth striving for, and if she fails tho failuro will cost but little, whilo she will feel con scious of doing her duty. A thorough drum ming of thc State and ti liberal system of judicous advertising should bc tried, that thc full trade may turn towards Charleston, our legitimate market? Our College. This enterprise ia too dear to our pooplo and too valuable to our country not lo bc kept before our loaders. Thc endowment fund has increased since last week lo about eighteen thousand dallara, and still no ono lins gono out of Wal billin to visit (bc pcoplo and solicit subscriptions. Now and then ns a citizen cornea in from Ibo country wo got a now subscription. Wo feel suro willi proper effort wo can raise twenty five thousand (lullars in tho county, and thoso who Bubsoribo in a lew yours will rejoice nt tho good motive which prompted them to thc etcp. . Our committees havo received a number of encouraging letters fron; leading ministers and laymen of tho Presbyterian Church, and in thia direction everything looks bright and promising. A dotcraiincd ofl'irt will never fail, and wo boliovo our poop lo have imbibed such a spirit io thia undertaking. Will not Seneca City holp us willi a fow thousand? Westminster and West Union should each fool an intcroat in, and holp to buildup a good Collogo in tho County, lt will benolit all thoso towns and tho pcoplo of j the County generally.

How to fi>cal nilli Tramps. Tho New York Herald says thc tramp, n nuisance which a few years ugo waa almost as unknown ns thc potato bug, has nguiu ap peared, and li ko tho bug, chooses tho most fertile regions for his ravages, (?ni to a nu la bor of outrages and d?pr?dations have been reported: nnd it is certain that unless some Strong repressive measures nro at onco lakon tho disgraceful scenes of ibo past two or three years will bo repealed in our rural districts this summer. An indication of what may be expected is found in Ibo assaults on farm* houses, thc insults to unprotected women, und in Ibo murder of a child recently in Pennsylva nia. When thc tramp first appeared he was not understood; and was supposed to bo tl deserving object of charity-a poor man unable to lind work in tho cities um! seeking honest employment, in the country. Kind hearted farmers' wives looked upon him with compassion, gave him food und sometimes money to help him on his way. But ns lite beggars became prosperous they grew proud, ami found thal to ask was easier than to earn. Tramping bceamo ns fashionable with this insolent class us pedestrian lours uro with young gentlemen. Tito lazzaroni of tho city, who live by theft and alms during tho winter, lind it profitable to their pockets and condu cive to their health ta practise the fiiinc arts in thc country during tho summer. Thoy ure organized now and have made trumping one of tho fixed RcioilCOS. When it hus reached this stage we know how to deal with it, for the evil hus developed into n tangible form. It is no'longor tobo dealt with by Individuals, but to bc suppressed by tho united cflbvls of communities. Instead of arresting now and then the tramp who robs a house, insults a woman, or commits a murder, society should array itself against tho system which makes such crimes common, lt uhould deni directly with thc cause and not merely with thc effects. Tho citizens of every county where the tramp has become a nuisance und danger should take measures to make him wish ho lind never entered it. Whenever thc bully and beggar makes his appearance ho should bo nut to work, thc giealeit pu nish mont that |)0 oottld sillier. If he commits a crime ho should receive tho fullest penalty ibo law allows. BhouhJ Ibis molhod be adopted und enforced with unmitigated severity hy thc olliciuls of ovciy county it would nut be long before theso bands of outlaws-for they nro nothing less,-would discover that robbery under tho disgniso of beggary ia a business oven moro intolerable than legitimate work. Printing I'l'l'SS. Col. D. Wyntt Aiken, in tho Charleston News and Courier, gives tho following inter* osling account of how a daily nowspapor is printed: Tho Courier Journal is printed on a Bullock pross, which to tho uneducated oyo is almost a superhuman concern. 1 will attempt tl description, ns I havo often seen tho work, and hope to edify some of your renders.

When thia casting cools it is just about thc size of half a Hour barrol, tho bnrrol being sawed lengthwise, Two such castings aro inado of each pago of* thonanor.
