A thorough system of policing last spring ?jorv?d <o restoro and koop our town ia its nor mally Healthy condition. Tho summer previous wo had suffered from a number of cases of fevor, Bovorul of which proved fatal. Thero is no piuco so healthy but it may by noglcct of cleanliness bo rendered aubjeot io fovera and other diseases, whilo by proper policing no suoh casos can be found. We do not know what steps our otty fathers have* taken in this di roo lion thia spring or whether anything is needed tobo dono, but wo hopo tho matter, will not bo overlooked^ Prompt attention to thc thorough draining and oleansiug of all filthy places may save much misery and expense as well as render life moro sooure. Wo morely allude to- this matter by way of oalling attention io it, aa- we aro satisfied our attentive and- efficient oounoll ?will look carefully to whatever ia-oaloulotcd to promote tho health and wolfarc of our town.

Why do wo find that every new town, of tho hundreds springing up oround us, moko it a sine qua non to plant a press in thoir midst tho first thing thoy do? It is because tho sagaoious business man of Eaotcrn marts, who is heading these enterprises, knows woll tho power of tho prcBs and its invaluable services in building up and developing a country. Its light is to tho business world what thc ?un ie to our solar system. Let it languish and omit a sickly ray and you languish with it. Support it well.

Think about it, you old fogy youl it is no -question to consider. "But I oan't afford it." You oan't? Thon you ought to stop busiuesa forthwith.

It is nothing but your duty BB a business man in a community where the good and prosperity of all is a oommoC oause. The Republicans. There seems to bo great dissat?s?aotion iu the rinks of the Republican party at Y7.^elk ington. Tho old Blaine and Conkling feud boo taken wider rango and threatens the dismemberment of the Cabinet on the ono hand or tho virtual submission of Pr?sident Garfield to tho rule of Conkling on the other. Conkling, who seems herotoforo to have controlled tho important offices of his Stato, has been balked by tho President and ho threatens, unless his wishes aro consulted, to pour out tho vials of his wrath on tho President. In tho matter of tho Now York post office tho wishes of tho business men of tho city scoured it to a man dis tasteful to tho mighty Roscoe Then tho Presidont sent tho nemo of Stato Senator Robertson, a conservativo Republican, to tho Scnato for confirmation as collector of tho port of Now York. Robertson was peculiarly distasteful to Conkling and efforts aro hoing madu to induce tho President to withdraw his name, hitherto without avail. It is said tho President will stand to tho appointment, and if so, tho votes of tho Demoorats, with a fow Republicans, can confirm tho nomination. Conkling threatens all kinds of disasters and opposition to tho administration, unloss he has a voioo in filling this most important office. The nomination of Chandler for Soiioitor General BB sooond to Attorney General MoVeigh has given him offenoo and he speaks of resigning unless this nomination bo recalled. Tho President seems equally firm io this matter, so that the Republicans at this time in Washington aro by no means a happy family. There ls no littlo wire pulling now to defeat these nominations, tho Republicans refusing lo go into oxooutivo session to net on them. In tho mean timo thcro aro porsistont efforts made to have tho appoint monts withdrawn. GRATEFUL WOMEN.-Nono receive so much benefit and none arc so profoundly grateful and show suoh an interest in recommending Hop Hitters as women. It is tho only remedy pe culiarly adapted to tho many ills tho sos is almost universally tmbjcot lo. Chills and fever, indigestion or deranged livor, constant or pe riodical sick bendnohes, weakness in tho book or kidnoys, pain in tho shoulders and difforcnt parts of tho body, a fcoling of lassitude and despondency, aro all readily removed by theso Hitters.-Courant. Tho comparativo ootton statement for tho week ending March 26 shows that tho total ro ooipts at alt tho ports of tho country aro 6,058, 250 bales, which is 600,478 bales in excess of last year. Tho slaloment is also mado that Ibero is 1,000,000 bales yet in (ho country in tho hands of farmers and others. uor and Grim?* ' We learn Item tho Charleston Netos an? \ Courier that Mertlo A. Thomas, a blacksmith of Branchville, 8. C., ts supposed to have killed his wife, Jane Thomas, on the night of j tho 29th ultimo, while drunk. Uer body was found on tho 30th about ll o'olook A. Nt. in tho back piazza of the houso cold in death, with a ghastly wound hi the breast, appa rently made by buokebot. Her clothing was bumed, showing tho ehot was fired very near to her and the fuot that her husband's spec tacles wore on ber body, his bloody ooat in tho house and bo had absconded lod to tho opinion that be bad killed her and tho coro ner's jury so found. Sb's bad expressed fearo of this result some time boforo. The parties had no ohildron. Tho wifo is spoken of as a woman of osemplary oharaotor, a mombcr of | tho churoh and in mut)y ways a worthy por son. Thomas has not been arrested, but was soon on tho Charleston public road riding off | with/ his gun and dogs. Thomas ie 48 y oars old and was a sober, industrious and re spected citizen until just prior to tho war, whoa bo gave up bis good habits and bcoamo a habitual drunkard. Find cr imo whoro you will, wh other it consists of homicides, rapes, arsons or othor acts of wrong and violence, and in ninotoen out of twenty casos it is connected with or traooable to liquor. We could fill our papor weekly with accounts of vielen co in tho United States duo solely to Ita baneful influ onco. This is due to two onuses, mon drink moro now than formerly and tho whiskey sold thoso days contain moro impurities, both of wbioh tond to craze tho brain and do? throno tho reason. i It ie owing to tho ovils flowing from its abuse that tho spirit of prohibition has sprung up and is gaining strength nil over tho civilized world. In England, Germany and tho old world restraining measures, aron as lo tho uso of beer, aro hoing agitated, In America tho spirit of prohibition has boon gaining strength rapidly and unless checked by tho diminution of the evils traceable to it, threatens to cover tho whole country- In Kansas a prohibitory law has been passed BO stringent as to condomn the uso of wino at thc sacrament. In two counties of Alabama prohibition is onforcod and in Bovornl conn tics of this State tho refusal to grant liconso prevails. Petitions are being widely circu lated asking tho Legislature at its noxt sos-? sion to prohibit tho manufacturo and salo of liquor in South Carolina.' Wo do not be? liovo such u law can and doubt whether it should bo passed at this timo. Would it bo enforced? lins publio opinion bocomo sufli cicntly unified to givo it practical influence? If not it would bc hotter to rostrict than to pro hibit, to control than to try to prevent and fail. Mr. Bayard, of Dolawaro, is quotod ns oppos ing such laws as undemocratic and a number of the lending clergy of tho North tako tho view that such laws would fail of thoir pur pose and aro unwise in themselves, holding that each person should control himself. Tho question orontes diff?rencia of opinion in tho social, political and religious world of think? era, and until there is a greater unification of opinion on tho subjoot, no suoh laws aro apt to bo passed. Every aggravated crime duo to liquor tends however to increaso tho army of prohibitionists. Trifles; There aro a groat many things in tho world which pcoplo call trifles under one form or mather, and in fact if tho sum of human ?fe, iii.1 accidents and events, was put down n order, ninety nino hundredths of them rould bo Wt'.'it, QB isolated aote, aro called rifles. It's a trinV. ? 'lon,t Cftr0? 5t8 nothing, ro common expressions in the vocabulary of ifo and nothing is moro ajngcrous than tho ultivation of such opinion,.1 and oxpw ions. 'Tis nothing," flays tho fool; but say* t?-? friend, This nothing, sir, will bring you td yo?*1 end." Thoro arc no such things as tritios in tho rorld. God never m ado a trifle, nor can ian as a froo agent denominate truly any? bing as such. Tho earth is composed of articles of matter, many too Bmall for ob* orvation by tho naked oyo. The oceans and eas aro drops of water thrown together. So ho events of human life aro many and con? 1st of small note which, following each othor, reato wealth or poverty, happiness or mis. ry. Woro wo to disregard the little "doeds f kindness and little words of love," which nuke lifo happy, it would leave it a void, 'bo great River Amazon, which, by tte force, ?lows its way hundreds of miles into tho coan, forming tho gulf stream, rises from nd is formed by many springo and rivulots. 'ho mighty oak, which refuses to bow bo? >ro tho storm, sprung from tho little gorm i tho heart of tho acorn. So in a long life ho good or bad acts of mon accumulate and ntail happiness or misery, though no ono oparntoly looks of muoh importance Who an estimulo tho results ot an angry word? ?nco spoken it can novor bo recalled, but ;oos on its mission of discord, it may be of oath. Soovory moment of lifo is valuable, n fact a moment is all we can call our own .ta time. When it is passed it is gono for? ?vcr. Tho futuro wo cannot forcsoo or en cy except as it comos momont by momont. rho present only belongs to us and it is n nero instant and what many in tho ordinary mrsnits of life regard a trille. Wo mistake greatly when wo call anything a trifle in tho natorial or moral world, in animal or vogo nblc lifo. If pooplo could realizo and act on this in ho ordinary pursuits of lifo thoro would bo nore successes nnd fowor failures, moro hap )incss and less misory. Thoro is no pursuit n which this should bc notod on nore than in farming. It is tho little ?dds nnd ends about a farm that moko muoh >f its profits. It is tho neglect of tools and ithcr small things that constitute tho hulk of ho loss. A day lost at this or that season is 'Ognrdcd a trille, when such loss can bo raced through tho year and is soon and folt n tho harvest. It is rognrding too many ittlo things about n farm as trillos wbioh urentes so many unsuccessful farmers. Often loighboring farmers, each having equally artilo lands, enjoying tho eomo rain and mnshino, ono grows rich, tho othor fails. In worldly parlance, ono is said to bo a lucky ind tho ether art unhioky man. Tho o ia nothing of truth in this assigned roaaon for* ;ho difierenoo. Thero is no euoh thing ns uck except in games ol ohanoe, -where, i on? ion has no plooe. Io tho various avocations >f lifo judgment, energy nnd industry aro :ho passports to success aud they never fail ?o win. Under tho operation of those ovory fbing is utilised and no time is lost. Tho jonsequonoo is, tho man osorclelng them is laid to ho lucky, but his luok so called is within tho roaoh of all. Moyho means aovor; don't caro brings to ruin; 'tis nothing s a ohoat and a snaro, and thero uro no tri fles in humnn lifo. Let all so riot uud all vf il) be well. ' fr Tho Seasons. "A distinguished British soiontist has pre iliolod a groat drought this summer as the historical eoquonoo of tho heavy freezes of tho past winter. Ho quotes various instancos ranging from tho second century to the pros? sot timo, to confirm his theory." There is no accounting for tho seasons, and apart from tho observation of yoars tho jpinion of soieuoo is worth but little moro thau of ordinary mon. In fact it is a reoog* nissed rule, based on the oxporionoo of years, that a cold win tor is tho precursor of a plen teous crop yoar. This too is bused on reason, tho pulverization of tho soil by doop and Frequent freozos and its enriohmont by tho absorption of ammonia from snow and the protection of tho surfnoo from tho sUn in tho mme way. It is howevor always well to bo propared for ovory emergonoy, and happily ho sumo preparation of tho soil is a proteos iou against too much rain or a heavy irought. In deep plowing the farmor is pro eotbd largoly from the washing of tho land iud its becoming too wot, a deep soil like a argo spongo absorbing more wator. In tho anio way ho is protected from drought, as bo groater thc quantity of water tho soil ian' toko up and bold tho longor it will bo in Iryiog out. Whether thon wo bavo a wot or [ry or soasonnblo summor tho safety and .bundunco of tho crop dopends largely on luman ngonoy. Thorough preparation of bo soil with good tillago rarely if over fails o return an avorago crop, while without heso tho host nf seasons will do little more. Vc all complain too muon at Providonoo, rbothor it rains too much or too little.. Dili' ??neo and good judgment oan supply seasons nd if wo will do our part failures will aroly bappon. Muhono. This Virginia Brigadier has occupied' no ittlo of tho timo of tho United States Sonata br tho past two weeks. Tho attucks mndo n him by Hill, of Georgia, has given him . wider reputation than ho would hovo ;aincd on his morita in a service of twenty cars in tho Sennto, Wo cannot soo tho wis-? om of tho courso of tho D?mocratie Soua Drs in this mutter or thnt any good is likoly o flow from it. Tho tendency was to drive ff Mahono himself and to injuro tho Demo ratio party at largo by an effort to unify its ote on all subjects independent of tho gpo ?al opinion of ouch Sonator on any given ubjeot. It may bo tho Republicans have ot the example of intolerance and cracking lio party whip un nil ocooaiona, but we obn ider it a bad proc?dent and one bettor in tho roaoh than in tho obsorvanco. Tho country an never have pcaco and scouro wise and inpartial legislation while its national Leg slaturo is controlled by two factions fighting or supremacy and tho spoils of offico. In bis warfaro time is consumed, expense in urrod and bitterness kept' alive, while tho rent objects and purposes.- of Congress aro ist sight of. Tho reply of Mohono to tho thick of Hill and other Democratic Sonators ontained only a defense of himself and an ttack on somo of his Democratic colleagues, 'hero is nothing in it relativo to national flairs.

Editors;-Extrow? in any diroo tion give rise to more intorest than a regular monotonous routine of every day aotualitlos. and in tho nbaonoe of something bottor I have concluded to writo a local for your erudite columns, noticing some of the freakishness of the weather of lato. It is an old saying, if M?rel? comos in like a lion it wilt go out like a Iamb and vico versa, but if thora har boon any lamb like wauthor in March it must have boen Uko ono that never bad a ehopherd. Thore is a saying that tho Int of April is nil fool's doy. Last Friday proved moro proverbial than March and I guess it fooled more pooplo by hoing one of tho most unpleasant duye of tho season, in. stead of being spring Uko as usual. Tho wind blow a perfoot galo all day and flinging cold, and at 0 o'clock P. M. the moroury stood at tho froozing^oint; at 2 o'olook A. M. at 28? and at 0 A. M. nt 24?1 Last spring the fruit orop was dostroyed wbilo the mercury indioatod 20? Fnh., but this season tho orop bas escaped ti like futo with tho moroury at 24?. It scorned cold enough to kill the trees and I noticed tho young buds on tho forest trcos aro killed, yot wo will havo plenty of ponchos in this locality if tho weather is favorablo from now on. I was at a mill race on Saturday nftor tho frcozo up and cat icicles at 3 o'clock P. M. and examined tho blooms of a poaoh troo in a few foot of the ico and found ovor half of the blooms uninjured! This sounds a little liko tho old hunter's yarn who killod a goblerso largo when swung from his shoulder tho head dragged in the snow in wheat harvest time. Whoa remonstrated at by a bystander for speaking of enow on tho ground in harvest ti me, after a little re flection tho old hun tor rc murk cd ho believed bo had two talus a little mixed. Tho past winter has boon rom ark oblo for changes, slop and slosh, fog, sleet and snow nnd it would seem that a porigoe or perihelion or both might havo had something to do with tho many changes. Tho weather begins to bo moro genial now. There is n soft azure hue pervade? tho clomonts; tho "voico of tho turtlo dovo ia hoard in our land again," tho morry voico of tho ploughman is hoard in every direction preparing for a big cotton orop und we aro impressed with hopo on, hopo ovor. Tho pooplo in this section arc bona Gdo on tho fonce law question. Tho gatos ?laud as a memorial of things that woro, and largo woodland pastures have been built. This is owing to a surplus of rails and a surplus of scrub stock and a kind of gradation chango from nil out of doors to n punt up arrange ment. In othor words, pooplo like to muk? changes gradual. A decade of years or less will vanish this absurdity nnd lino stock will bo enclosed on lots of cultivated grasses and olovor. Much preparation is manifested with tho farmers in tho way of thorough preparation of tho soil, buying guano, Ac, for the crop of 1881. This is commendablo. As progress and improvement is mado tho demand is in' creased and those that supply that demand will suroly bo remunerated. Deep prepara tion and shallow culture bas onabled tho writer to bo successful in tho tillage of all orops, but by all moans lot tho preparation bo deep, whether tho after work is deep or shallow. Whom tho subsoil is well broken it muk?s tho earth filter Uko, regulating tho moisture ns woll as the tomporaturo. Everybody has hud or will have the mump,!, if thom provos onough for ail to havo thom. Tho High School nt Fair Play, with Prof. W. P. Calhoun as principal and Miss Sallie Burton assistant, lins huon ovorwholining this session, but tho mumps havo thined the ranks some. In a short timo they will return and fall into lino again. Tho wheat looks vory Bmtill, which is a favorablo omen of a good crop. Oats that woro sown in tho fall aro very promising. FRANK.

Oregon has hit upon a now expedient to koop hor citizens sober, livery mun who drinks is required to toko out a license oust? ing $5 a year. Unless armed with this document ho cannot get bittors nt any hotel or saloon, for it is a penal offence for tho proprietor of these establishments to sell to ouy person without a license. Every six months tho names of tho persons who take out those licenses oro to bo published in tho local papers, 80 that tho public may know who and who aro not authorized to driuk. Mr. Ocorgo I. 8ency, of New York, has glvon $60,000 to Emory College, Georgia. Ho also gives $50,000 to tho WcBloyan Female College, of Maoon, Georgia. Both of thoso arc Metho dist oo?legos. . y Tho Kabun Oap Boute. Tho Augusta Chronicle and Conttita tionalist says that the time has come for Augusta to oom roi a railroad routo to tho West, piercing tho Bluo Ilidgo and resohiog Kuluin Gap, wbioh has properly been cal led the Thermopylae of tho Gorrgiu and Carolina railroad systems. Pending tho completion and extension of tho Augusta and Knoxville Railroad shows a disposition to control the Northeastern Railroad' of Georgia, from Athens to Lulu, with tho object of oxtouding the lino to Kabun Oap oa soon as possible, ut which point any num ber of Western lines and Northern com binations will bo willing to unite in forming a through routo to tho West. It ia not generally known that euoh a road through IUbun Gap is about ono hundred miles shorter than through Chattanooga. The following is an extract from an artiolo published io the Athens Chronicle: The completion of tho Augusta and Knoxville llailroad is now a certainty. That road hopes to be in the trank line from tho West, via Knoxville to tho sea coast, either at Charleston or Savannah. It is self ovidont that all its business will be so much taken from tho Georgia Railroad. Thou again, if tho Macon and BruoBwiok Railroad is exteuded to Atlanta, which is a fact within tho range of probabilities, tho quota of freight that comes over tho West ern and Atlantic, and tho Atlantic and West Point Railroads, will havo a new and important outlet to the sea, which will also bo a rival of the Georgia Railroad. Then r.lso tho road from Anderson, South Caro? lina, to W'nlhall i, crossing tho Air Lino Road at Hences, begins to nnsumn evidences of being pushed through tho Bluo Ridge. This road must carry a part of tho Western freights, and add to these the trcatoncd combinations of Jay Gould with tho roads in Alabama to get to the sea by flanking the Georgia, (and possibly tho Central.) and wc see tho probability of thc Georgia, at no very distant day, dependent upon its local business. Tho Georgia theo must havo a Western connection that shall at least rival these others, if it docs not outstrip them. .If it cannot bo obtained ut Atlanta, wo must, of course, look to tho tortniruus at Athena. If then the Georgia must havo an independent Western connection through Athens, its interest in tho completion of thc Northeastern becomes paramount. WASHINGTON, April 2 -A caucus mooting of tho Ropublioan Senators has been called for 10 o'clock Monday morning. It is rumored that tho President advises a postponement of the ponding contest for possession of tho Senate offices until after tho executive nominations shall havo been disposed of. A proposition to adopt this oourso of notion will bo brought before tho caucus for discussion, together with several other topics suggested by the paet and present phases of the deadlock. - ?? m NEW Youie, April 1.-Judgo Donahue, of the Supremo Court, in Chambers to d<y granted, upon the application of Charles II.
