Goori Rains.
For tho paBt week general and frequent rains
lifcve fallen in every part of thc county, so far ai
wo can hear. Vegetation of all kinds has re
tived and tho growing crops aro striving lo re
cover from Ibo effects of tho long drought,
Cotton is reaching up and spreading, win lc corn
begins to show a great chango for tho belter.
In some Bcolions corn and cotton uro loo fat
spent to yield abovo a half crop, while in othon
tho yield will bc nearly an average Corn on
lowlands will yield an ovoragc crop, but thc
genoral avorago must bo ouo-lhird less per acre
than last yoar. Another good cll'ect of thc
rains hos been to cool and purify (ho atmos
ph?re a tho drought had canned a great
shrinkage in running streams, exposing to tho
hot sun tho bods usually covered with water,
which might provo a source of sickness. Wo
have heard of scattering eases of siel?noss in tho
county, but not of a serious type, and, as wo
think, not moro numerous (han during our
usual summer season. Tho wonder is (hat with
so much heat and drought as wo have had Ihcro
is so Millo sickness in tho county.
A Narrow I?scai>c.
Tho mail train on tho Air Linc was run
ning ou time, uour Atlanta, wheu rounding
a sharp ourvo, a oow was seen on tho track.
Tho distance was too short to slop tho train.
Mr. Berry, thc engineer, with a steady
hand, drovo thc cngino over tho cow. This
throw tho wholo train off thc track and tho
engino down tho bauk. Strange lo say, no
ono was hurt, although th ero wcro mauy
passengers on the train. Great credit is
givon to Mr. Berry, ougiuocr, and Mr.
MoCool, conductor, for their admirable con
duct ou the occasion. Tho Air Linc is ono
of tho best roads in thc country, and it
has bcou a loug limo since it has been our
duty to chronicle a serious accident on it.
Tho ruad bod is fine, and tho road has tho
most o a ref ul engineers and tho very best
conductors.
Tho Fence Law.
This inattor ?S OXciting considerable didi
oussiou in (Jroonvillo and other counties of
uppor Carolina, and ibero scorns to boa
growing interest among tho pcoplo hero on
tho subject. Tho law is now in foroo in An
derson, Abbeville, Chester, York, portions of
Fairfield and perhaps other counties nnd
whorevor tried opposition to it lins given
placo to u gonoral satisfaction with tho law.
We lind a largo portion of tho oitizons of tho
lower townships of this county favor tho law,
and wo hear Bomo effort will probably bo
mudo to secure its adoption, liven in thc
uppor townships wo find somo citizens who
favor tho low, though tho inujorily aro doubt
less oppoiod to it. Noarly all that can bo
said on both sides of tho quostion has from
timo to timo boon publishod and its offoot is
soon in tho groat chango in tho publio mind.
Eiporionoo is tho host tcachor, and on tho

oonstralnod to cay Ibo weight of argument is
in favor of fonoing stook, ospooially in tho

stook would provo economical to tho grouter

wo aro lobing anything in permitting others

it would promote tho best iutorcsts ot tbo

Tho Assessmont
Of thc real estate of tho county has been
completed nnd Ibo Tow rtshlp Boards have
mndo thoir returns to tho Auditor. Tho
duty assigned lo thom wns an unpleasant ono
and without rcinuuorotion, but it wns n duty
which somo of our citizens had lo perform.
Tho members of these Boo rds havo doubtless
discharged their duties lo tho host of Ihcir
ability, and very much charily should bo ox
tended lo any errors committed by thom.
Tho woik was difficult, ns no tinco men could
bo expected lo know tho roal ?slalo of tho
citizens of so Inigo an oven ns a township,
woll enough to value it to thoir own Bntisfac?
lion, much loss to tho mU's?ii'd?on of thc
owners^ They, therefore, to a great extent,
i had to^fcpend on tho valuation fixed by tho
i owners in their rolurns, confining themselves
? lo equalizing as far as possiblo these vuluu
- tiona. To do this required in some eases
tho raising of values and in others tho lowom
i iug of thom, ns each poison in valuing bis
property proceeds on his own particular
' thoory. To can tin o property now to tho
1 actual salo value, would cut down the leal
1 calato of Ihc couti, y fiiV per cent, or moro
! on nu avorago, as tho scarcity ef money and
1 failure ul* el ops havo operated to provc.it
sales at nny reasonable price. Wo believe,
howevor, that our roal propotiy has boen on
thc avorago valued too high in tho past nnd
that lhere ? diould bo a gouoral reduction
oner equalizing os far as possiblo Ibo rolurns.
Wo do not know what action tho various
boaids havo taken in this respect, and rcg.ud
tho meeting of tho county board on thc lir.-t
Monday in August ono of great importance.
All appeals fiom township boaids must be
hoard and decided by ibo county board and
to it bolongs also tho work of equalizing
tho valuations between tho different towns
ships. Wo hoar of Homo complaints l'rom
ono or molo townships and ibero will bc
doubtless sovornl appeals. As tho action of
tho county board will bo final in these malters
of appeals, wo hopo to eeo every township

board at its meeting will also bo required lo

member of tho Stato Board of Equalization,
Fovor in this Country.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-Thc history of
yollow fovor in this country shows that it luis
novor provailcd in nn epidemic form in nny
locality with nu elevation ot' 500 feet abovo
Ibo sen. Br. Brake, in bio- work, fixen a
limit to tho fovor at 400 feet in tho United
Stales. Fort Smith, in Arkansas, 4G0 foot
nbovo tho sea, is tho highest point at which
thoro has been an epidemic. This waa in
1323. Casos wore roportcd at Winchester, Ya;,
700 feet above tho sea, in 1802, but in this
instance it is not a woll authenticated ?pi
d?mie. A chart giving tho points at which
yollow fovor has boon treated, with nltiludo
of tho localities, shows that it has boon nt
St. Louis, 476 feet; Louisville, 450; Cincinnati,
550; Oallipolis, Ohio, 520, and Bald Englo
Valley, Pa., 550 foot abovo tho sen. These,
with Winchester, aro tho highost points
it luis ever roached; yet thc history of tho
fevor nt these places proves that it did not
obtain us nu cpidomiu, and that no now cases
woro devolopcd, tho onos recorded being thoso
brought from lower elevations. Memphis is
200 and Vicksburg 176 foot abovo tho sea.
Dining tho lust hundred years thoro have
boen epidemics along tho Atlantic seaboard
ns far North as Portsmouth, N. H., but ul)
tho points ut which it hus appeared on tho
coast and back in tho country uro less than
200 foot abovo tho sou lovol.

How Typhoid Fevor May Bo

In a rooont number of tho l'ojmlar Science
Monthly, lily Van Do\Varkor, M. D. of Syrai

About oight years Btnco, Dr, Flint, who
hus studied and milton a great deal on tho
Bubjoot, became satisfied that a uottrco of
typhoid fovor existed which was little dreamed
of, aud which nt first thought would seem
i inpossible, This sourco, us ho then enunci
ated it to his homo medical society (und not
to bia knowlcdgo having boca boon before

Ibo poison is not destroyed or ?nu
