Wheat.
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.

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. He left etho WVhitt
Houso at 101 o'clock to attend thc

EF'ECT OF THE NEwsV.
The news of the (loath of. the Vicc
President, cast a gloom over the
whole community. 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.

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.

policy should be adapted b tho.ou
servative peopl# of South rolilk td
redeem the State from iadical rule
and place her upon a secur founda
tion. 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.
