Our Timber Supply.
Tho Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution publisher
editorially tho following interesting article
. on "our timber supply." V/coommond it to
tho careful oonsidorntion of our readers.
Tho best wooded country in tho world
bogins to soo that ovou its forrestry resources
aro by uo means inexhaustible. The prosent
rato of consumption is much greater than tho
poople generally bcliovo it ie; it is iu loot
enormous. Tho unnual demand for tics
and sleepers of our 90,000 milos of railway is
estimated to b? 40,000,000 square loot, and to
inclose tho ronds would require 180,000 miles
of fence Wo have 75,000 milci of telegraph
wire to put up, fur which 800,000 trees aro
noodod, whilo repairs would nood noor?300,
000 moro trees a yonr. Tho common lucifer
match usos up 300,000 oubio feet of tho finest
pino annually. Thc bricks buked ovorj year
require 3,000,000 cords of wood, which would
be all that. 50,000 acres cf avorngo timber
. land would contain. Shoo pegs exhaust
annually 100,000 oords of wood; lasts an
boot-trees somo 500,000 cords of beech, birch
and maple, and about as much more is
required for tho stock of planes and other
tools. Tho packing boxos mado in tho
?Jnitod States in 1874 cost $12,000,000, and
?tho lurabor manufacturen into wagons, agri
?Cultual. implements, etc., was worth over
$100,000,000. Our fences alone, according
to Mr. Dodgo, late statioian of tho agricultural
bureau, havo cost our pebp?o $1,700.000,000,
nearly half of whioli consists in valuo ol' mate?
rial, and/' tho annual cost of repairs is esti
mated at $198,800,000. An iron furuaco that
burns charcoal, if in full blast, will consumo
.all tho wood around it for three milos.
Wo nood not on um crate moro demand ?upon
our timber supply for tho purposoof bbc? lug
that'.tho consumption is immense. And it is
annually inoreasing; and so our foreign ship?
incuts, which aro alroady very largo. It is
. estimated by Hon. Goorgo P. Marsh and
.Other competent and careful observers that
at tho lumberman's estimate of 333,000 foot
of lumber to each forty acres our total con
sumption of timber for all purposes would
demand tho clearing of twolvo million acree
of woodland ovory yonr. This is an aroa
equal to that of Vermont and Now Hamp?
shire combined. When wo remombor that
fche destruction of woodland has boen going
on for tho hut century, wo bogin to nppro
oiato our approach to a timber famine. An
examination of Professor W.ilkor's statistical
atlas shows that tho woodland of fully one
half of tho oountry does not cscood sixty noros
to tho square milo.
These faots aro full of interest to the pooplo
of Georgia. Wo havo un immense aroa of
valuable timber. Our stock of hard woods is
olmostnsnxtonsivo as aro our coniferous for
ests. But neither aro inexhaustible, neither
should bo subjected to waste, for consumption
will soon cull for both, and that, too, in invi
ting terms. Caretul'y husbanded and rightly
marketed, tho forosts of Georgia aro sufficient
to double hor wealth. Porty millions of poo
plo aro chopping towards us at a rato that is
ruinous to them but pleasant' to us. Tho
blows of tho advancing oxos and tho buz/, of
tho saws aro music in our oars.

A CURE yon DIPIITIIBHIA.-Tho celebrated

Islands, South Paolflo Ocean. Mr. Gibson ia a
nativo of Anderson Comity, was raised In tho
Sandy Springy community and married a daugh

has been ono of varied fortuno, and his friends
and relatives hero havo watched his career with
great Interest, not only In America, both in the
United StatCB and Mexloo, but also in Merope,
tho East Indies and in tho Sandwich Islands,
which havo been his homo for tho past seventeen
years. Tho groat reputation which Mr. Gibson
lins deservedly earned in bis adopted homo, and
which hud preceded bim iu bte visit to his old
homo, made, his friends and relativos quito
anxious to seo and hear him 1 cet ur o upon the
experiences which ho bas had in his wonderful
life in his now homo in tho far off Pacific
Ocean. Accordingly, nt a moeting of the citi
zens of Sandy Springs, bold this day, Messrs.
Jesse J. Smith, J. W. Major, M. C. Smith, T. E.
Dickson and T. L. Heid wcro appointed a com
mittee to request Mr. Gibson to lecture to the
popio of that vicinity in thc Grange Hall ol
Sandy Springs Orango. In roply lo their re.

SANDY Srttixas, S. C., Octobor 28, 1878.
Messrs. Jesse J. Smith, J. W. Major and

to moot you nt tho Grange Hall of Sandy Spring?
mid give to my old friand? of this neighborhood
somo information in regard to my adopted
country, the Sandwich Islands.

WALTER M. GIBSON.
In compliance with tho invitation above given,
Mr. Gibson addressed tho citizens of Sandy
Springs in tho Grnngo Hall on Monday evening,
Octobor 28tl>. Wo arc sorry that wo cannot glvo a
full report of his lecture Ho spoke for more
than two hours and kept Ids audience deeply in
terested throughout tho whole time. He prc.
scntcd a graphic outlino of tho group of Island?
which composo thc Sandwich Islands. Thoy
comprise an aron of about four millions of narcs,
with a population of seventy thousand. Thc
soil, which is composed of decomposed lava, ls
very productive, and equal ns a fertilizer tc
most commercial manures, and if experted would
soil well as a fertilizer. As au instance ol' ?ts
productiveness, ho asserted that ono nero had
produced as much ns soven tons of sugar. Thu
great fertility of the soil line aided greatly in
tho civilization of (ho country. Tho chid
staples of tho islands aro sugar mid rico, and
Lhcsc great articles of commerce have done
much to reclaim the islands from barbarism
Sixty years ago thc natives of Ihcse island;
wore savages-ottered human sacrifices to theil
dois, uud in some insinu?os were cannibals
Mow they are far ndvancod in civilization, liv<
ii bettor houses than thc average farmer of om
?uniry, and have all tho conveniences of a wei
mlcrcd society. Thc influences of tho Christ
an religion had done much moro than any otho
sausu to elevate and refino tho people. Thcj
ire mostly Congregationalists, Episcopalian
md Catholics. As an cvidonco of (hoir refine
nent he said that not tv single Instance, sine
he whilo people had been in that country, hm
loourred of tho ill trcatmont of white women Ir
ho natives. Tho two races lived in perfee
larmcny, and tho capitalist and laborer wer
voll rewarded for thc hearty sympathy and con
?ord which existed between them. Tho form o
?overnment is n constitutional monarchy, ad
aiuistorcd by a King and his Parliament. Th

A Visit to A ?Igor College.
On yesterday (Monday) morning wo bad
ibo ploaauro of a visit from tho Hov. Ellison
Capers, of Groan vi Ho. Ho was a follow oadot
of our Professor of Muthomatios, Maj JL
Sloan. Mr. Copora, at tho conclusion of tho
morning devotional oxoroisos in tho chapel,
by rcquost, addrossod a fow instructive and
timely words to tho young m<su of tho Ooh*
loge i
Ho said in sn hs tun co that groot truths \V0ro
oftou overlooked and failed to bo appreciated
from tho foot of their familiarity. Dy be
coming things of common and duily observ
ance, they lost, often seemingly, nt least, thoir
influon?os evor tho minds and hearts of men.
Just as frequent observation of tho grand,
sublimo and bountiful has a toodonoy to
destroy tho sensibility of tho emotional nnturo
so do groat truths, by becoming common,
blunt in somo dogrco their porooption. Tho
Canadian and tho citizen of South Carolina,
standing on tho banks of the Niagara, in sight
of tho groat falls and surrounded by (ho sub*
limost scenery on tho American Continent,
tho latter would bo moved into cotasios of
thought and Poolings, while tho funner would
stand unmoved. There would bo nothing
grand or bountiful in the scene, because tho
Canadian had bcon accustomed to look upon
it from carly childhood, lio could view with
indifference what stirred tho emotions of tho
other (thc Carolinian) to thc vory depths. So
there is danger that young mun in oollogo
muy luso a relish and appreciation of tho
great truths and principles which aro involved
in tho study of tho lungungos and the sciences
Thoy may bo duily lcd into tho temple of
loaming and by familiarity with tho ritual
by willoh tho truth is set forth and illustrated
thoy may lose a proper taste for tho truo, tho
beautiful and tho good, without which thoro
can bc no real advancement in learning, no
true scholarship and tho ossential element of
succors-tho love of truth-is wanting. Tho
speaker beautifully and truthfully showed
tho young men how te avoid such a disastrous
result, by going forward in tho oarnost dis
charge of duty, by addressing thomsolvos like
mon to tho work beforo thom, redeeming tho
time, tho days and years that they aro in
collcgo. Seo tu it that this precious time of
their youth is not wasted. If thoy now do
net make a dilligont uso of thoir timo, do not
appreciate their present privileges, asstudonts
of Adgor Col logo, thon tho consequence of
familiarity with tho truths and principles
involved in tho curriculum of study would bo
to deaden tho intellectual and moral nature.
Their present privileges would bo either a
savor of life unto life or death unto death,
intellectually ur morally; that it should
bo one and not tho other, was in their own
hands, Persevero ia their studios and stand
to truth and duty at tho cost of cvory sacrifico.
Then thoir futuro usefulness (ii lifo bo spared)
to the church and Stato could bo predicted
with utmost moral cortainty.
Tho above is tho substance of what the
speaker said. Would that others of our
friends would do as ho did-pay us a visit
like entertaining mid instructivo.

Undor advice an examination was waived,
and bonds wcro given by all tho parties for
their appcaranco nt tho next term of thc
United States Court.
Tho affidavits wore mostly mado by igno
rant nogroos and tho charges are all undor
sections 5,508 and 5,520. The most of the
persons arrested aro charged with interfering
with Swails in his advocacy of Rainey foi
Congress nt tho White Oak mooting, although
Swails himself says it was only n club mooting,
not called to advooate any one's election. Thc
others aro arrested for giving Swails notice tc
leavo tho placo.
We aro not scarod worth a cont. Tho De
mocracy of Williamsburg mean to carry this
election. Xo odds aro asked of Swails. Evory
one speaks in tho kindest terms of District
Attornoy Northrop and Judgo Wiggin for the
respectful manner in which they have dis
charged a disagreeable and unpleasant duty.
But as neither of tho sections of tho Revisod
Statutes can possibly be torturod into cover
ing tho alleged offences against Swails, it is
not expected that their prosecution will over
bo heard of, nguiu.
Only One Box?
Wo understand, says tho Charleston Noes mut
Courier, that there is some doubt ns to thc num

Election Law sont to each County Chairman,
and also lo tho Commissioners and Managers ol
Election, direct that lhere shall be but one box
at each election precinct, and that Ute polls shall

THE RIGHTS or Pi.ANT6Rs.--The following

' inquiry addressed to him by J. \V. Heimos,
of Barnwell, will bo read with interest by our
planters, ns it gives thom the gist of Commis*
Karim's rulings on tho right ot' planters to
advanco tobacco to their laborers:
U. S. INTERNAL UKVEN UR,
COLLECTOR'? OFFICE,
DISTRICT OE SOUTH CAROLINA,
J. W. Holmes, Esq. -SIR: Replying to your
inquiry, I hnvo to state that a farmer or plan
tor who simply supplies his employees with
what minni fae tu red tobacco they need for their
spcoiul accommodation, and not with a view
to goin or profit to himself, is not regarded ns
engaged in tho business of soiling manufao?
tured tobacco, and would not bo required to
nay special tax for thus supplying his hired
laborers with tobacco.
A farmer or planter who, solely for tho
accommodation of his laborers, as abovo

A CLEW TO TUE ORIGIN OF TUE YELLOW
FEVER AT NEW ORLEANS.-It comos to our
knowledge, on authority abundantly roliablo,
that four thousand hinds of kitchen garbage
which had peen hauled to tho dumping
grounds by tho city earls have econ brought
back by tho contractors and used to fill up
streets in tho front part of tho oily. This is
said to hnvo happened within tho present
year, and was in progress ut the limo of tho
breaking out of tho fever. No doubt it would
hare continued indefinitely, hoing n cheap
and artless means of fulfilling tho lotter of the
contract, but 'for tho awakened vigilance of
tho authorities and tho unpleasant attontion
which was riveted upon tho street contractors
AB WO have already stated, this knewlcdgo
comes tu us on tho very best authority, nod
merits immediate and most rigorous investi
gation. The bare suspicion that a deed so
wicked, so brutal and so atrocious lins been
committed is enough to cordi? one's blood.
Wc oan conceive of no grosser or moro infu-?
mous wrong; there is no blacker injury possi
bio to bo inflicted upon a community than
this. It amounts, pratically, to tho delib
erate importation of discaso, and through n
motivo so moan and sordid as to elude any
adequate condemnation in moro words.

A ROMANCE OF THE PLAGE.?-One of the
thousand and ono tragic incidents of tho great
plague happened nt Holly Springs a fow days
since. A beautiful young lady of New Or
leans was forced by her father to ninny an
old mau sho could not lovo. Preferring
death to slavery, ibo young lady ran away
and gnvo her services as nurso to tho fever
stricken nt Holly Springs. After a few days
of devoted attention to thc sick she was her
Rolf stricken. There was n male nurso for
her. There was no female hand to soothe
with its gentle touch the fevered brow. Rut
tho noMo Ridley was there to perform tho
Inst sad offices to tho dying girl. Toward tho
last she said to him: ' Kisi mo." As Ridley
kissed her on the chook, she exclaimed: "Kiss
my lips," which he did. She then said: "You
nro the only mau I ever kissed; kies me
again." While Ridloy woe in tho net of
kissing her sho threw her arms tightly around
his neck and instantly expired. Cod bless
tho bravo hearts.

This man is ono of tho notorious Ladd muri

go at largo and exorcise his rofiunism on the

THE GENUINE
DR. C. MoLANE'S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSrHrSIA ANO SICK MBAUACHB.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
I)AIN in the right side, under the
edge of thc ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; thc patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side ; sometimes thc pain is
felt under thc shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to thc top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe
tite and sickness ; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled ?with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful sen
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done..
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility;? he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa
tion of the skin ; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer
cise would be beneficial to him, yet
he cnn scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend thc disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
T R. C. MCLANE'S LIVER PILLS, IN
CASKS OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can bc used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. Wc would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL,
For all bilious derangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.
BKWARE OF IMITATIONS.
Thc genuine arc never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the lid,
with thc impression DR. MCLANE'S LIVKR

Thc genuine MCLANE'S LIVKR PIM.S bear
