Now is the time to sow wheat, if enough has not already boon soon. .Earlier would have been botter, but sow now. It is bettor now than not -at all. Let overy farmer ini Pickens County foel it to be a moral o bligation devolving upon him to sow every bush .1 of wheat ho can. We have triad cot.. ten alone almost to nausoation and the ounty gets pooror and poorer; and it will continuo to got worse, uns 'less our agricultural policy be changed By the present system of producing ootton to the exclusion of the cereals, wo aro only building up and making riohor at our own individunl expenso those who hold the money-tho mor, - chants. Let every farmer in the eOounty try (and we know, if ho-try he wvill succeed) to make enough of wheat for his own individual con Jsumption. *Dos not depend upon the Northwest to supply your ,our aind 'meat. There is no necessty for it ~ono whatever. Pr'oduce gor'n, wheat, and,other graitra, and conscquetitly -meat suflieont to meet allyour wants in, that direction. Than, we would say, after you bavo done this, make ah the cotton possible. Husband your lands--mako them richer with homo.. made. fortilizers; work loss t.areago, -thereby curtailing tho expanse of pro duoti on, and a greater yield you may then reasonably expect. An ioreased *rosperity will then begin to dawn upon the farming -interest of Pickens eounty,, and not only upon the farm,, inig interest of the County, but upon .all material interest of the same. We Wthink this is the true philosophy of *arming in this County, at least. -Wo were pained to learn that E. f. Griffin, Esq., while attending to something about his cotton gin, late on the evening of the 23d inst., got his left coat sleeve caught and his left hand jerked into the gin, and 8o severely mangled and torn, that Dr. ,Earle thinks it will habe to be ampus ,tated. We h1ope, however, that am.. .putation can be avoided. These gins .are formidable machines, anid we cannot be too much on our' ganird 'agpinst them. PESoNAL.--Maj. S. P. Dendy, the *e9ozent and accomplished Probate Tuge of Oconee, was In our town 1Ne ther day, looking after law bus, Vuees. Come over and see us often major, for we have a "heap" of 1awv lbusiness in Pickenis. ' Tlhe News and Courier makes a calculation to ascertain what effect the hte ven,sus will have upon the ropro, sen tation of the various counties in tho General Assembly. According to it, Charidston, Bleaufort, Colloton and GeorgetLown will lose one representa - rto each. Anderson, .Barnwell, Plokons and Richland will gain one edeoh. As thingsi now stand politicals ly the gain for t,ho Domaocratts will be two. 6 . AWvifio .4s iud Banr tOpka the fpce law of tho utmost im peftanoo to the entire StAite. The questi6n 1oloIves WieIf, simply iuO one of euonomy. in the lower and middle portions of the State where timber is scarce, it is obvious that a law compelling tho enolosure of stock vWuld be a groat benefit, espeeally to -the !poor man. --The rich man.will geerally tUm care"of-b1nislft, ahd is able to do so. Without .a fnce law all the virgin forest and even that which is not virgiv, will soon have been out down. It will soon become a necedlity within our Stato; for our timbered lands are fast disappearing in order to keep up fences. Shall we wait till necessity drives us to the fence law? Would not common pru4 donce dictate thi, the sooner the stock bo enclosed the bottor. In Pickens thoro does not:at present ex ist the same nocessity for such a law as in other portions of the State, yet we think sho, too, would be eventual ly greatly benefitted in many ways We are aware that a great deal car be and is said, in opposition. Every important question tonding to th< amolioration of mankind'has over mo with bittor opposition. Morso's tolo. graphic schemo had its violent op. posers; Fulton had his, and Columbus his. Nevertheless right prevailed finally. On this subject of a fenec law, if all the arguments for and against be carefully and dispassion ately weighed in the balances of every clear and unprejudiced mind, the dos cision will be favorable to a fonce law. The Banner says: "The poor man who is unable to buy timber to make rails to protect his crop is absolutely at tho morcy of his neighbors' cattle. The rich farm ers who have large landed estates can generally protect their crop, but the poor main with a small track finds it impossible to build fences. As the lawv now stands it discriminates as gainst the poor'. Thousands of acros of land in Abbevillo county now lie idle and non productive for the want of timber to guard the cr'op against the depredation of stock. The 1)001 of this county should *domand that their rich neighbors be responsible foi the crops which their stock destroy Nothing paralyzes the enorgy and1 spirits of the farmer more thani to have his crops destroyed by drc'vcs of hungry ciattle. Many freedmen of this -county who have rented lands n'nd plowed and hood in tho sunshinc and rain have seen their crops do. stroycd for wvant of fences." Seath of Vice-President Wilson. \VASrINGTON, .NOV. 22. At 1 o'clock this miorning a special session of the Cabinet was called. Al] the memnbers were in attendance cx eopt Secretary Roboson, who is absoni in Newv York. After a full confe~renc< during which the loss of tihe groal statesman wais deplored. Secretary Fish was sIelegated, on .behalf of the Cabinet, to proceed to the capitol and meet with a call Session of such gena tors of the United States as may b in Washington.

His death affords ed the absorbing them for discussion in all the Executive departments. In respo'ot to his memory, orders were at once issuod to drape all the public buildings in mourning and display at ha'f mast, the American flag, all the hotels and the District Government buildings, also united in this tribute. The death of Vice President Wilson again raises the queston, "Who will be President of the Sonate?" Thorc can ho at the present time but onc conclusion as to its~ solution. The special session of the Senate called in April last, after an exciting cauaus. selected by a majority vote of one. Thomas W. Ferry of Michigain, a.. gainst Henry .B. Anthony, of Rhode Island, the competitor for the place. There has boon no change in the. Sen ators, since all the new members par ticipated in the caucus deliberation which broughat about the nomination1 Thero is no doubt that if the Senate, at its next meeting, does not by sub, sequent action, reverse its selection of last April, that Mr. Ferry will be the presiding officer'. There is a general opinion, however, that the Senate will select a newv President pro tern. -u -Reedha resnoce ibs Judema Redhoso rsentncLedt Gov.' thoans cosemueteune oth. abonce of~ G~ov. Chmorlan fuued rim) th)e at8ncn of Gov. Uhamhorlain from th~ State, Of the students of the Pickens High School took place on Friday, 19th instant, which closod the scholastic year of 1875. The public attendanoe on the ocsion was small, owing, doubtless to tlo incolemqeOy of the woather,.and nOtto s,wan f interest on the part of patro'ns or.the public generally. The proficiency of the several classes was fully equal, if not superior to that of former occasions evinaing u zhoroughnew in preparaa tion on the.part of the student and a carefulness in "drilling" on that of the Principal. The scholars, as shown in this ox, amination, although, it was~nocossa rily shirt, did themselves gre4t credit. And we must say in this' 6onnection to every body, who desires their sons and daughters well educated, that we know of no school in our country, either as a preparatory school, or one in which studonts can acquire a good sound business education,. that offers greater advantages than this. The Principal is a teacher of long and varied experience in his profos sion, and, if teachers, like ghoso in other professions, are to be "known by their fruits," he unquestionably will have to be favorably jjdged; for this school now sends forth .9vo young mon to college, who are prepared to enter the junior class. We could but remark the high character of the school. To seo young men and girls in their _tAhjnk t4'njlat ing English sentences with perfoot caso into Latin or Greek on the black board correctly, is a IdaIMV rarely seen in our preparatory schools. A class of girls and boys, examined in Cosar, acquitcd themsclvos hand, somely. Owing to the late hour of com mencing the examination, and the large number of select and original spechoe, and comipositions,.tltro was niot suficion t time allowed to examine more than a third of the classes of the school. Tho examination, tlgorofore closed at 12 o'clock, and afLei- a recess till 2 o&clock, the audience .teassom, blod to listen to the declamations Most of the boys, in our judgment, in this ce orcise, as woell 'as in t extjm inatlon, acenitted themselvS-hardd somely. Where all did so well, it is p)erhaps, invidious to maiko any dis tinction, yet we will venturo tonrie tion one, Mr. Clark Welborn, "on thinge in general," whose delivery was so in kooping with the tone And character of his subject that he exuit ed the extreme risibilities of all pros,. ent. In fact, all seemecd Aightcd wvit,h his effort. Next followed the original comipo, sitions. Tfhe first rcad was that of Miss Lucy Hagood, this, from one so young, is highly creditable indeed. That of Miss Laura Ellis,. on "Pa tience;" Miss Betty Hester, on "Ima gination;" .Miss Vosta Mauldin, on C'onscience;"' Miss Addie..Itollings,. worth,.on "Hope," and Miss Ja?epliino .BQggs, on "Friendship,".. wre all beautIfully and .eleganiJy ; ritten, embodying an amount of tho4ght and an elegance of cxpression rarely seon in girls in their teens. fone of those compositions ,were more beautiful than an other, it must ho given, with some hesitation hower' to Friendship. Next follo wed the original speech es. Although there were ,five of these, yet only three wore delivered. James E. HLagood, Jr., on "Intempo,. ranco;" Mrt. M. N. Mitchell, on "Char,. acor;" and Julius E. Boggs, on "Gov~. ernment." These speeches were all well receivod and does great credit to ech. Tihoe one on Government was indeed a fino production and of great merit, both in respect to the illustra tions and complete analysis of the subject. NEcw YoRK, Nov. 20.-Charles B. Orvis and.Dexter A.

With this one single exoeptioD the Southern States have renewed their allegiance to the Democratic party, renounced Radicalism and are now marching on to a giad and glorious* destiuy. In this state we are still subject to the treachery and stratagem ot cruel political combina tions, and although the power of the rings lp weakened we are still under their baleful and corrupt influence. It is believed that party organization among the Conservatives will effectu ally save the State from a longer con tinuance of Radical rule and some decided action should at once be tak en towards this end. It might be well to call a convention to meet in Columbia during the approaching session of the legislature to frame a platform and adopt such measures as will call out the full strength of the Conservative vote in 1876. Organi zation is the word. With it we may accomplish something, without it we can do nothing and will lose the State torever.
