EDITORS: Having a little business at Anderson Court House I throw two bales of cot ton on my wagon on Friday, tho lith instaut, to test the market of that flourishing town. The morning wes warm and pleasant And bid fair to bo a pleasant trip, but wo had, not gone fat beforo low muttering thunder was heard in the West, and nt 12 o'clock tlio rain commenced, not falling but pouring. Tho ground alroady Doing wet the roads woro soon flooded and tho atreams that were subsiding commenced rising again, but wo managed to got in striking dis tanoe of Anderson and struok camp for tho Dight thoroughly saturated from tho inoesant rain. During tho night the weather oloared up and Saturday morning was blustery and freezing oold. But wo were in town by the limo the market opened. Notwithstanding dull cotton reports we sold out at tho first bid ot cloven cents for good ootton. Anderson ia among our best ootton markets and her buyers know what they aro doing and bid without hesitancy. It is quito refreshing to visit Anderson and note ber progress, not only in town, but along tho road everything Bocme (0 "breathe along the faoo of things" progression and material im provement. I notiotd along the road to Ander son four ootton gins propblled with steam and the road WAB literally thronged with wugons, not only loaded with guano, but with baoon and flour! These indications are unmistakably an index and point to a now era, new doparture, progression onward and upward, showing tho influence of tho fleecy staple, our great money oropl Just nev?os tho Blu? Ridgo, almost in sight, is a country teeming with tho ecroals, grasses, dover, hogs, mules, kc, with no avalla dlo means of raising ootton. Wo on the "sunny Bide" of thc lilue ltidgo are not exactly in tho cotton belt, bul with tho improvements in agri culture many of our bcBt farmers equal the best fanners of tho Mississippi cotton lands in auto bollum days. With these fads staring UB in tho faoo wo do not wonder at meeting so many wagonB loadod with bacon and flour and every livery sto.blo stocked willi horses and mules from Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina. Wero wo to predict tho farmers pro gramme, and it is gradually making tho change, I would say fence tho stook, give tho colton tho rioh f?nco rows, buy principally our bacon and flour, beop but few improved stook, no surplus, and modify our corn, oats and forago to snit that few and we will harmonize in advance of what will inevitably bo forced upon us by tho hand of progress. And this viow will bo moro fcnslblo OB soon os there is a railroad constructed to tap thin rioh grain growing and stook raising coun try beyond the Bluo Ridge, and Hus road is certain to bo built ero long if progress is let to havo her perfect way. But for fear we are accused with fancy thoo rising wo will turn book and" deal with facts that no ono ean gainsay. Anderson is extending her euburbB and enlarging her sloro rooms and every department of business is increasing, and among othor improvements I noticed several first class confectioneries, combining almost ovory variety 'of domestic and foreign fruit, and quite uniquo in design. Ono thing I noticed these houses furnish as well as some of your merchants of Walhalla and that is oat meal for porridge and is destined to become a leading article among our table comforts. It is in tho form of por ridge or bread highly nulrioious and its analysis places it equal to other cereals, but of this more anon. In fact I soo eo much to admire in An derson and her surroundings that to designnlo all would require too much tiino and epaco at ] this particular juncture. Tho citizens of Anderson aro fondly antici pating tho good effect of the Savannah Valley Railroad when completed. Tho directors havo let out twenty miles for grading. But I learned .Ibero is gomo dissatisfaction in regard to taxing only tho townships through whioh the railroad v passes and the county will have some litigation . over tho matter hi ibis spring's court. But such Important enterprises of progressive improve? menta are not apt to be seriously impeded, for I trust Ibero ls too much harmony between our Legislature and our courts lo admit of much troublo in thc way of litigation. This road is destined to open up and revive tho old trade with Augusta, to say nothing with its competing effect with the Greenville and Columbia Rail road in tho v. ay of shorter routes to Charleston, Savannah, Port Royal, &c. When this road is completed would il not make tho Fair Play and Westminster Railroad moro feasible? AB a general thing thc people of Anderson aro well pleased with ibo stook law and tvhero you find an opponent there is a corresponding laok of go-aheaditiveness in all of his surroundings. On our return wo had to lay ovor nt Deep Creek Saturday night, not because tho bridgo was gone, but tho creek was over it. Kauf? mann's bridges do not wash away. Mr. Kauf mann, of Walhalla, has a number of substantial bridges that ho bas constructed in Anderson county, all of whioh givo tho County Commis sioners no moro troublo, and if everybody praises tho bridge that carries them ovor safely Kaufmann will ccrlainiy nocivo many enco miums from the traveling public FR ARK. ~-- ? . -> - Have we a Dog Law? SBNXCA, 8. G., March 1, 1881. Editor? Courier;--Whatever viows I may have horetofoto hold in regard to tho fonoo law, no to its Oeing a publio bonoflt, aro moro than confirmed hy hoing satisfied, OD amore careful reading of it, that it is also a good dog law, and that 1 ro bard it one of our greatost Doods. Our leg islators have boon urged to pass a dog law ' that would oonflno or lessen tho number of worthless dogs in the community, hut it has been impocslbfo. to get ono onaoted, Tho dogs had no vntos, hut their owner* had, boneo no dog law. But in poising this stook law thoy boilded botter than thoy know. A .trio? oonati UQUO? of tho law vi ill compel th* | confining of dogs aa vieil aa pig?, eheop or goats. They aro etook or property io the I .ame sense that u cow or horse is, and there la a special law for their proteotion. It ie a serious offence to kill or steal ono. Thoy ore stock and the Uw says that all stock shall be confined within enclosures, and it is a tros pais to permit them to run at large. I have no doubt bot that the courts will sustain thia view, which is at once just, reasonable and withal desirable. There is a large class that thia construction of tho law will especially benefit. I find very many men who ure opposed to the law for roaaons like thia: They say they have no siook to.fenoo, therofbre> the law is no benefit to them. Now such people always keep dogs, and as it is genorally ooneoded that n. man who koopa bia ?took within en closures will be benefited, theao people will derive some benefit from the law by keeping their dogs confined, and Ibo community at large will be benefited quito as much ns believo they will be by tho confining of all other kinds of stock. * Gentlemen dog owners, .but up you dogs. Tho dog found running at largo is committing a trespass. Your?, G. J. G H KIO NU. Oconoo County Medical Society SBNEOA. CITY, February 26,1881.

IC. 8ullivau, of Anderson, foll doad from heart dtsoaso on the 22d. Ht was moro familiarly known as "Nim," ant was on oxoollent moo and a gallant offioor of Orr's Rifles d dring tho war. A hill has been introduced in thc Ohio legislature to punish wife? beaters by whipping thom. A Formidable Rival. The Greenvillo News, of the lot instant, oontains tho following hit of new?, whioh ?ill 00 doubt r-urpriso ruauy of our Wei balla people: Seneoa City, which fron ita emergence oat of the woods up to the present timo has always bsd . laudable ambition to excel, is hourly becoming* dangerous rival to Walhalla. 8eoeoa is on the Air Line Railway, Hoked to a live and ooergotio thoroughfare. Walhalla, uofortunaroly, waB dropped two or tinco miles in front of whore tho Blue Ridge Railroad would have found a , tormiuus had it not unhappily terminated just when und where it did. The last report is-and in comes from good authority-that tho Bank is going to move from Walhalla to Seneca, and that Mr. 8. K. Dendy, a prominent merchant of the former p'aoo, purposes very shorly to follow it. The geographical situation of Seoeoo, its enterprising merchants and good hotels ere all contributing to tho building up of this pretty little town and it will not be long before Seneoa will tako ?auk among tho foremost of tho cities of upper South Carolina. Thu Atlanta and Charlotte Air Lino lluilway passes through Seneca, so also, does tito Bluo Kidge Railway and yet -the old time dootrioe that railroads paasiog through towns or oitios oro. of no benefit to them, to the contrary, notwithstanding Seneca has been fostered into a munioipal athloto by this very fact. CORN STALK SUOAU-At e recent meet ting of tho Amorioon Agrioulturnl Asso ciation in this city, Dr. Petor Collier, chemist of tho Department of Agriculture ot Washington, stilted that during tho past year there havo been examinations modo of 38 varieties of sorghum grown in and received from 14 difierent States, and from E) varieties of Indian corn. The results of analyses made, 1,818 in all of the sorghums, ?bowed them to yield, on an average, 1,062 pounds of available sugar. From 4 of these varieties the sugar was extracted in [juuotity and at a rato of tully 2,000 pounds por aoro. As to tho oom stalks the results tvere most satisfactory, but tho experiments ?vero not so numerous ns 'with sorghum. \u average of 26 analyses of thc 9 varieties examined showed thom to contain in their uioo an amount of sugr.r greater in quon ity than the overage of tho best 80 ipecimeos of tho 60 speoimens of buger >ccts grown in different parts of the corni ly. After a large erop of ri po oom had )cen gathered, tho stalks yielded at tho rato of over 900 pounds of sugar to tho icre, and there appears no reason to doubt that this result could bo obtained upon a largo scale DESOENT OF MAN.-Two French savants havo for the lust twelve mouths been keep ing nine pigs in a state of habitual drunk enness, with a view to testing tho effeots of different kinds of olcoholio liquors; tho Prefect of tho Scino having kindly put some sties io tho yard of tho municipal Bluughtcr houses at tho disposal of tho savants, in order that they might conduct lhoir interesting experiment ut tho smallest cost to thcinKel ves. Pigs wore chosen for tho experiment because of thc close resem blance of their digestive apparatus to that of man. Tho pig who takes absinthe is first gay, then excitable, irritable, combativo, and Goally drowsy; thc pig who has brandy mixed with his food is cheerful all through till be falls to sleep; the rum swilling pig becomes sud and somnolent almost at once; while the pig who takes gin conducts him? self in eccentric ways; grunting, squealing, tilting his head nguinst thc sty door, oud rising on his hind logans if to sniff the wind. Dr. Dccuisne, describing these ex periment'* with intoxicated swine, remarks in tho France that they are none tho worse for their your's tippling. These experiments, taken in conjunci?n with thc pig's wtdl known personal pecu Ihritios in feeding aod his obstinate refusal to travel thc correct path, go fur to ?how that mm was envolved from the hog rather than from tho monkey, UB some have surmised. How RAISINS ARE M AUB IN CALIFORNIA In Mr. Mowers' vineyard. Yulo c mn ty, tho grapes aro allowed to romain on tho vino until of a goldon color and translucent Then they aro picked and put on wooden trays two by three foot in size, placed bo, twoen tho row??, sloping towards thc sun. When half dried they aro turned by putting a tray on top, and by inverting them both, aro transferred to tho now tray. When tho grapes lose their ashy nppearanco, and nfior removing tho green enos, tho rest aro put into largo sweat boXOS, placing sheets uf paper botweon overy t won ty live pounds of raisins. They aro loft there for two weeks, when tho atoms aro tough und tho raisins boft. Tho packing follows, in which ?ron or stool packing frames aro used, tho raisins being assorted, wcighod, inspeoicd, and mado ! presentable. Mr. Blowers profors a rioh, moist, sandy loam, in a warm elimata, for raisins, and beliovos thut winter irrigation will destroy insects and keep tho vines in a thrifty condition. Ho prefers to plant vinos eight by ten foot apart, or oven ton by ton foot, and uses fertilizers. NEW USE FOR SAWDUST.-Tho Lumberman saya; Wo havo boon shown a model of a car wheel consisting of an iron rim of seven inches outward diameter by ono half inch thick, titted with a well proportioned bub and rim filled with pino saw dust, pressed in BO solidly that wo aro ready to believe tho assertion that resting tho iron rim upon bearings, a pressure equal to 23 tons appliod to tho hub failod lo dovulop uny oigno of weakness. Wo hositato iu thoso days of progress to assort that anything is imposai bio, and wo begin to think that oven sawdust possesses elements of valuo hitherto unsus-? pooled, and that tho day may oomo when tho Ailed grounds adjacent to all sawmills may bo soon to havo a great value in tho mcohanU cal development and utilization of tho now ?seles debris placed upon thom to got it out of tho way. Sawdust oar wheels, sawdust brick, sawdust fonco posts, railroad tios, and avon sawdust window and door frames, wain-* 'ooting and moulding, bogin to nppour ?meng tho possibilities of Ibo immediate fu? turo. Ono of tho dams ot tho Piedmont Fao tory gavo way rcocntly on account of tho freshet in tho Saluda Hiver. UtiU?iNo Tua "COTTOH STALK.?j-Mr. T. J. 8poar, of Now Orleans, has por foo tod a pro? cos n for utilising the ?bor of the out ton stalk, limbs and roots, whioh he claims will pro duoe oheap bagging in sufficient quantifies, and of sufficient strength to balo the entire orop. His plan is to pull up the cotton stalks in October and November, when tho bolls aro matured and opening, and haul to a proper building or shed. At this juncture tho mu obi nos, of whioh there are three, como in play. The first is a olipping maohino, whioh outs off the limbs and then cuta off tho bolla. The second maohino is a hull aoptirntor, and takea tho ootton from the bolls. The third much ino toko? out all tho dust, trash and j leaves, and sonda tho aeod cotton to the gin I oloan, or to the Glemont Attachment, where it is spun into yarn. Aftor the prooess is eomploto, the stalks and Umba oro ready to go into the vat to be mado ready to bavo tho fiber taken otT; tho bolls, or bulla, uro ready to go to tho paper milla to bo mudo into brown ptipor; the seed are ready to go to the oil mill, and tho yarn ready to go upon the market. To Frazer's Magazine Sir Goorgo W. Cox contributes an article whioh ho est?malos that tho English custom of horseshoeing costs tho nation annually as much as $15.000.001), which might be saved ii tho horses were allowed to go unnbod. He quotes authorities from Xenophon, who marched his horses un shod from Gumaxaovcr tho Armenian high lands to tho walls of Trebixond, down to tho "freo lnnoors" of the present day, and con tends that it is safer, oheapcr and bettor to let horses go unshod over tho hardest roads, and especially in tho slippery streets of Lon don. Ho estimates that over $12,000,000 would bo saved in farmers' bills alono, and ho calculates further that tho working lifo of a 1)01 se would 1)0 trebled by tho chango, so that a horse whioh is now worn out at twclvo ysura would live to 36. The State GommisAtoner of Agriculture ol Kansas reports that ovor 25,000 acres of Egyptian or rico corn waa harvested in that Stuto thia year. This is a very remarkable uoroal, whioh promises to be of greatest value to the people of tho inland portions ot tho West, aa it requires little or no moisture in its growth. Tho averago yield of tho grain was twenty five bushels to tho aero. lt is said to surpass the best Indiun oom, whioh it elosoly resembles, ns a food for both man and beast. Tho seed v%na brought to this country by ibo Egyptian exhibitors at tho centennial. Being a produot of tho grout African desert, Dimora, ns it ?sculled in tho Nilo country, thrites in tho dry est soil and under tho most intcuse heat. Where tho bu Halo grasa of tho American plain withers beneath tho sun tho rich corn flour. ?shes. Cattle and fowda prefer it to indian oom, and mano aalhoritica predict that tho timo is near at hand whon it will be thc fourth or fifth orup in importunco in America. How TO TREAT A COLD.- Thc following ro ceipt is given by one who has tried it: "When you got chilly all over and away into your hones, and begin to anidlo and almost struggle for your breath, just begin in timo and your tribulations need tint last very long Get some powdered borax nnd snuff tho dry powder up yo ir nomi ils. Get a camphor bottle, smell it frequently, pour some on your handkcichief nod wipo your noso with it whenever needed. Your noso will not get eoro, und you will soon wonder what's bo? on me of your cold. Begin this treatment in thc forenoon nod hoop on at intervals until you go to bcd, and you will sleep as well ns you ?vor did." Mr. Johu II. Fisher, receiver of tho South Carolina Railroad, returned from New York on Thursday night. Ho bought five hundred tons of steel rails, fifty-six pounds to tho yard, which will lay six miles of track, making ubout seventy miles laid with steel. The mils wero tundo ut tho Lackawanna Works, and ure the best in tho market. They arc now awaiting shipment, in New York.
