Patent Medicines- Stock Law.
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

That (lie cost of fencing is greater (han thc

l'ubll? 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

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?

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. First,
then, thc types aro set by about thirty work
mon, who bogin work nt G P. M. As fast ns
a form ia mado up an impression is takon
upon pasto board, innde of ecvcrnl sheets of
tho papor upon which tho nowspapor is
printed, hoing Immnicrcd together nftor each
ia smeared with paste, making it then truly
pasto board. Being toft, tho impression is
readily vecoived when tho board isevonly and
firmly pressed upon Ibo typo. This paste
board whoo dry is perfectly Hcxiblo, and when
.ourvod into a Bomi-circlo looks liko tho rind
of Ibo inner bark of the poplar tree Kept in
this curved position, containing nil tho Bet
mattor that is upon ono pago of thonnpor, it
is placed in a mould and a casting takon of it
iii melted typo metal. 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. Tho, eight castings then aro placod
around two cylinders, which rovolvo on hori
zontal axles, and aro so elote togothor whoa
coated by these eastings that a shoot of paper
passing botwoon thom re?oives on impression
from clich. Tho castings of tho first and
fourth pages aro; placed on tho upper, and
tho second and third on tho lowor oylindor,
so that in passing botwoon tho oylindors both
sides of tho papor aro printed nt onoo, and
t^o cylinders being.twice,us igngus thc parer
is widcj two copies o? tho piipor ute printed no
tho pnpor passes through. Tho papor is
proviously proparod by hoing wound upon an
axlo just as long as tho oylindors, otioh axlo
containing a roll of pnpor long onough to
ranko about 5,000 shoots of tho nowspnpor.>
Tho ond of tho pnpor in i phicod between tho
cylinders, and aa thoy bogi'n to rovolvo the
sheet unwraps from tho ' axlo, which is In
front of tho press and onsily rovolvcs. As
tho pnp?r pasaos through, hotweon tho oylin
dors it ia cut iu two, length wiso and crosswise
by machinery BO ns to throw out nt tho opj
p?sito sido of tho proas two oopios of tho
paper complete. You can imagino how rap*
idly thia is done when I tell you thcro aro
20,000 oopios of tho Courier Journal printed
ovory hour after tho prosa bogins to rovolvo
its oylindors. Everything in this building,
but tho setting of ty po, is dono by mnchinory,
and tho propelling power is an oigbty horso
