One of )awusville's most substantial' farmers says ho thinks tlia Agrieultural Bureau is a failure, or at least that ho I and niany othfrliave not yet been able to see any of its good results. Ho thinks it will make a grand success this year as a speculating schene, as it will doubt loss be overwhelmed with ten pound packagei of leaf tobaco, from hundreds of farmers in the State who will strive for the $100.00 prize which has been of fered. He says the sooner it is wiped out or rovolutionizel the bettor it will be for the State, Anythiug Fishy? Mr. C. J. Iluske, the Superintendent of Fislheries for the State has sent in his r: signation. It is understood that his reason for reigning, is because the Board of Agriculture has refused to make the n1eceNsiry appropriation for him to attend to the duties of his office sucoss fully. Several of our. exchanges have hinted that they would like to see a full report from the a rioultural department on this subject. Without going into particllars, we are prepared to say there is nothing fishy in the matter whatever, nor, so far as the peoplo in upper South (atolinaare able to judge, has there over been anything of this kind connected with the department up to date. 'The young people in this part of the country know nothing of shad except what they have learned from the traditions of their fathers. They hear and rend a great deal about carp, and see many ponds, but the fewest numbor, knlow from ox p rienco whether carp is good for food o: not. We comn mend the manliness of Mr. Iueko ill stopping dlow11 and out of that ollico wllich h) felt was not promoting the end3 for whieb it was established. If the department ref used the iecessa ryt appropriation, it can, no doubt, sub mit a satisfactory reason for so doing. We mn1ust roiemmber that the tobacc boom shoald ho advanced, for it prom isos untold thousands to the State. (Ireenvilie's Blaze. Last Tuesday night ia very disastrous lire occa.rod in the city of Groenville, consuming aluost the entire Cleveland Block. The burnt buildings were ec cupied by the following persons: L. Rothobild, clothing; MeI'horson, book store; Mullane & CJo., dry goods; Ros enthal, chothing; Bell, hook dealor; D1r. Jr. W. Norwood, donltist; Adam C. Wal born, lawyer; and( lReeves & Bro., gro cers, also the store of the late T1. B. Fergussona, dry goods. The Cleveland Building was insured for $20,000, which amflount it is thought will replace thes building inl botter styl1e. Most of the occupants Of the stoies wore Aery well insured. Dr.' Norwood and Mir. A. (. Woelborn were both inisured, but their respectivo amounlts of inisuranco fall c malhiderably short of their losses. The place whore these elegant row of buildings stood p)rosents an unsightly and delahto aIpearance. The fire, it s0eems, bIroke out in Me .Pher*son's hook store and waLs cau1lsed by a defective stove flue. It wats discov ered in time to have been easily controlled by a fewv men wvithu buckets, b,ut after somne little effort in this direetion, the engines arrived and they were reliedi up on to p)xtinguiiish the flames.. It wan a very cold night and the waiter in the en gines b)eing frozen they were 1much1 do. layed in begning their work. In ad dition to this the hose4( to 01n0 of the on gines bursted anld things were going wrong generally and1( ill the mean time the fire was rapidly gaining hIeadlway. It was four hours from the dliscovery (If the fire, before the first roof fell iln. Nothiing is moro common after an no (fident oJf this kind(, than13 to hear perso~ns srying, if this that and1( tihe other little thing, had boon done, the tire could have been stolppod, before much damage had boon wrought. Such eriticismns could( be heard in Gireenvillo last Friday at almost, overy street corner, but1 little, if anything, was suggested as to what would have 1be0n the result, if overy nmmber of the Fire Departnent had ben kept selber until the fight with the flames was over. We wvere informod that whiskey ilowed freely and that several of the force were entirely too drunk to ho eficeient.C Who can imagine the aniiety of a citizen whoso pr'operty is endangered by fire, as lie realizes that his only hope of safety depends on the p)rompt and effootive wvorle of meni under the influence of whiiskey? The alarm of firo should ho the sig.. nal for closing every bar room in the -city; for .if. there ia over a time when * then best jndgement, best senses, and Mt inasc1e of every man, can contrib. tov1~ to the common safety, it is in the u t~ r of iminent danger causoed b)y fire in a croweu.city.

S. W. Clayton, and F he discussion of the programme was t ommenced. 0 Mr. Williams did not think that t vheat ought to be harrowed in the C 'pring. Mr. Holder had- tried the t xperiuent and it did not kill his vheat, and if it did any good he could iot perceive it. He knew of a man iaving harrowed his wheat with some success. Mr. Joab Mauldin harrowed his wheat last year about the first of April, but the land was rather wet 2nd the ground rough. Otherwise it would have been beneficial. Those who had tried the experiment said it was worth trying again, and if they had time they would certainly repeat. Mr. John T. Lewis had harrowed one sowing of wheat by trying to re plant in J anuary, and what remained of first sowing was very fine. Mr. Laugston had tried fertilizing in the spring, but did not know that much good resulted. Mlr. Looper had tried the manur ing in the spring by broad-casting manure, and it had helped the crop considerably, but was not prepared to say that it would pay. Mr. Hc1ld er had once improved his crop very much by fertilizing in the spring. Mr. W. B. Allgood reported his fall sowing of oats as looking very sorry. He always succeeded better with spring sowing. Mr. Looper's oats were looking well. Mr. 11 artin reported his oats as looking fine, large enough to almost hide a rabbit Mr. Loo1er thought spring oats to do well must be highly fertilized or sowed on rich land. Mr. Looper did not think that it was a good plan to plow our lands deep with improved plows, in pre- I paring them for cot ton. He thought best to burn oft stubble before break ing land. le preferred the Cheat am seed, and used about 200 pounds fertilizer per acre. Mr. Allgood preferred the Osier s'eed. Mr. Ellis said that the Jones, whore it had results compared with Osier seed, had produced ten pounds more of lint to the acro. Mr. J. A. Griffin thought that we ought to be careful in the use of acids in view of a drought. Hon. J. H. Bowen said there was nIot much d(augerl of getting too much guanoi( on good land, but poor land would not support so much. Farmt ers in Marlborough had used1 as munch as 2,000) pounds to the aere. 11(e had put 600 pounds of acid, 100 pounds muaniure and 50 bushels of cottont seed to the aere, and only plowed the land once, deepl, before putt(1ing in fertilizers. Ho made somlethintg over two bales on three acres. Th1is~ experimuent wals muadle in 1883. Mr. Stackhouse, of Marlborough had beeni cultivating 20) acres in cot ton for several years. The smallest yield from this was 21 bales, andl the lar'gest was 37. Mr. S. had p)ut in dr1ill 50 *bui.hels cot ton seedl to the acre. It was imupossilie to use too mneh ferntilizer to the acre on good land dIrouth or no drouth. Mr. Allgood thought that 9 acres ini cottoni was as4 mluch as one0 hand could wvork propl)Iy. Mr. Looper said that 8 aicres was eniotgh. Mr. McMahan satid 10 acres was ab)out the average to the hand in this coun ty. The President stated that manny of the citizens of Marlborough ad nitted that to produtce their fino crops they had used 600 poiuds oif fertilizers to tiho acre, and( thaut they pre(fered( 1,000. Mr. W. T. O'Dell saidl he had gen-I erally cultivated his cotton in thie old slip shod( way, plowing shallow. I Mlessrs. McMehan, Erhina and Loo per put cotton to a stand1, first e rk- t nug unear as possibilo. Col. Hlolling;s- P vorth thought it was best to leave ini ' uinches. Several wtere of opinioni hat one half hushel 8seed was sufil- e ient to pilant ar' acre if carefully y histributed. Mr. Looper said deep plowing ini unuiner helps the crops to stand e trouth. Mr. Allgood's objection to n leep plowing was, it made the crop i' vaste itself on a second growth. Mr. U . H. Blowen was in favor of a suir- v ace cult ivation. Deep) plowinig should 'I dl be done before crop was planted, f: }rass was a great injury to - p in I try wveather--it helped to drink the v~ noisture. Dr. Clayton agreed with it ~Ir. Bowen, and said it would be best Il o cultivate cotton with the hoe if we tl 'ould work enough land in that way S :0 pay for the labor expended. MIr. ii rJ0ooper still insisted that deep plow. ti g was best and he appealed to those o: >i differed to try it. Mr. Ailgood C >ugrht he wvas right if it rained, a -t wrong, if it shiouki~ not. Dr. ti 31ayton had seen cottonl worked sue- il essfully with a hoo on a small scale. o C. L~. Hollings worth wa next call d unon by tho lThaident fo hi ew, U6n thesubjeo of , i w, and saida This question is connectea with d ad inoident to one of the most im- I ortant questions that now concerns o e agricultural people of South Car. a lina. 'The lieu law is a necessary a vil, produced by the Constitution t f the State. There is no blame in he law in itself. No one is comnpell d to give a lien, and no one is forc d to take one. After the adoption >f the present State Constitution the Legislature enacted the lien law tc t )nable our farmers who were poor md without means to obtain credit. ?his was, perhaps, the best that 30uld be done at that time, under 1 the ciroujnstances. Now it would lo no good to repeal this law, under the present Constitution For it is cheaper and more sni..ple way to btain credit than to mortgage the crop, which many good farmers t would have to do, or hire for wages. And it would be more than cruel to have laws that would force a man to become a hireling for wages. No agricultural peole could prosper t and be contented under such laws. The great source of the evil results 1 >f the lien law, is in the Constitution. In fact our State Constitution was c Irafted and made by mon who were not acquainted with our peoplo, and t know very little of their wants and I uecessities. It was drafted from id suited to a thickly settled, rich md prosperous people, a few of whom had more ioney than all the t "itizons of our Stato. Our State is agricultural, and fill d with people generally without nuch money. The property of our 3tate consists chiefly in agricult rral lands. Our money has to come )ut of the ground, and the support f our Government is dependent up )n those who till the soil. Our far- t ners have retrop r:Lded as a class ever 1 ;ince the adoption of the pretsent Jonstitution. It is too expensive. t provides for too many offices; we annot prosper under it. The re )eld of tho lien law would do n,>) ;ood. But few farmers can prosper nI Pickens County and pay two )(ir axes. Already a groat many of our iiost enterpriaing nen, an(d best la )orers have left; and many more vill follow, and ore long our fields may become wasto places, unlcss our taxes are reduced and the farming nterests of the country are lrotect ?d. It will make but little dia'rence in the end whether yon plo0w deep or shallow, failure will continue to be the result unmder our p)resenit State Laws. 1 know the vie'ws that I here ox >)r(ss will mnect with strong opposi tion, b)ut they aire true, and( I amn willing to be placed upon record iln laying that the fartners of Pickenis County can not prosper andl pay thecir presenClt rate of ftaxes. Some-t thing hams got to ho done, andmc the rarmers must take hold and help themselves, anid demnand al new Coun stit ution adapted to their wants, ibilit ies and necessities. In regardl to the e-xpenses of our e ounity GovenetMrT.C10ba nison saidol lid(1( not think there was y mny chance for a now Constitution, e Lbut he wanted to know if the Repre- a l(entatives could not have a special act for this county redlucing salarios.r Mr. D)urant said that tihe only ol- e :ers inl this county th at received a a malary pafidI out of the taxes assessedl a 11nd collected1 were thle School Corn- I -nissioner, Treasurer, Auditor, Coun- r .y Coummissioners, Suuperv-isor of Iteg- y St rat ion and Trial tJust ices. The uaximumlum of the School Commmission- ~ u's salary is $600.00) and $100 forI raveling ox penses, but this is rogu atedl by the Board of Examiners, vhlo have the right to limit the num >er of days ho shall work. The Au litor has a salary of $500.00) paid by lhe State, $300.0 ' adlditional compen ation paid by the County. The .reasurer, vhose mnaximum salar a $800.0Q% out of which he is requmir- f< d to bear his own expenses. Some e oars ago (in 1882) when a bill was resented1 to the Legislature allow- d rig the Treasurer a spocifled per ent. on tho first $30,000 collected, t] nid one per~ cent. on tile b)alance, u rhichl wouldl have raised the salary el f the Treasurer of this County some1 0i 'here between $1,000 and $1,200. aa 'he members of Tile Legislature ~ P -om this C oumnty requested that ickens County b)e stricken ouit, hich leaves thle salary as it was be- a ore. Thereforo the Treasurer of d mis County hlandles. more money te ian any other Treasurer in the li ate for less pay. In several other h stances thley had (lone the same 5 ing, reducod the salaries of our Ilers by having the name of onr oiunty struck from bills proposing ri increase. It seems to have been V le intention of Roepreseniatives of A >is County to lower the salaries of the T rlcers where they could do so with-T at detriment to the public interest. A The Cotunty C',msinrm.ar. aid scording to the work they I, nd &e itad in. thb unber of ays. Atthe last es fon of tfe aegisjiture th# salary of Supervisor f Re stratiou was reduced to $200.00 11 ovb the State; I" think that mount is sufficient for the work here is to do. Before he took his eat he would ask one question bout the lien law. "Has the land ord a lien for supplies without re ording or filing?" The Presiden newered in the negative, stating hat the confusion in regard to thal uestion had arisen by the extensiv< irculation of the original bill with uch a provision, but it was amendet )efore its final passage. Mr. Bowen said he agreed almosi ntoto with Col Hollingsworth and vent on at some length to enforc ius arguments. Mr. Looper agreed sith him in everything he said. He bought the Lien Law ought to stan< intil the Constitution could b< mended. Captain Bowen said that muel ressure had been brought to beau o increase salaries, bills coining ur o raise a salary in a single county )ut there had been no demand foi higher salary from any of the offi ers in this County. But he an< is colleague had voted together ii he interest of economy. Captair 3owen gave an interesting accoun f the finances of the State and show d the importance of retaining the )resent rate of taxation. He though hough the best way to improve ou: itate Goverment was to make a ne 3onstitution. Col. Hollingsworth said that h< ras glad his sentiments were endor od to sohie extent, and would sa: urther in regard to the expenses o mr Constitution that whenever offi es were held simply for the mone; here was in them, they were sure t, >e prosttituted. Rev. B. Holder differed from sov ral of the speakers. The lien lay a a curse. It hurt nobody but thi ienor. It was a great evil and ough o ho repealed. The homestead wa blessing and ought to stand. I ,ausod people to be trusted on thei ionor. A ruan could squander th ionc of his wife and children drink ng whiskey, wore it not for this. Mr. Boggs thought his frionc was mistaken in his views about th lomiestead Law. This law enable t great many, by contracting debts ~o possess themselves of the hard1 mzrned1 honest dlollars of otherrs, am1 tould fly to this refuge and be secur n the enjoyment o,f ill-gotton gain W~hen a man contracts an hones leb)t, every n ickle he panosse'd ough a be liable for it. Thero were mmi ni this State shelt.ored under th iomesteadl, wearing fine clothes lriviung fine hors(r andl reposing ii he lap of luxury, while the son ndl( daughters, and widows of hon at poor men whom they justly ow ,were eating b)read by the swea f their brows. It has given birti o the lien law, and a great man; ther evils. It was a standing tempt tion to honest men, rmuch mnor< rould it serve others; it was an in ubus11 on our fundamental law anc ught to be cut off. A whiskoa lebt could not have been collectoc inder the old Constitution, nol 0ould it be ulnder the present. The amne provision could be made undei neow Constitution, should we bc ortunate enough to obtain it. Sc 10 dlanger was to be feared on that 'oint. Many subjects of interest were dis ussed( in connection with the lien rw, and much interest generally was hown. Some interesting speeches vera made and not reported. Mr. Bayard's Morrow.

I5, '86 Mn: EDITOn: Not long since a par ty consisting of five, left home near D Brookston, with wagon, team, guns, time rations and cooking utensils for a hunt in the Indian Territory. On ync Wednesday at noon we arrived at T Garret's Ferry, on Red River. There is g we had some trouble with the half and breeds. They said we must not ROi cross Red River. We waited until thr( they left, then we crossed, going to about fourteen miles, and then turn ing through the woods we encamped Yf near a creek. Two of us arranged bel the comforts of the camp, while the wit rest were out killing game. They tol brought in three squirrels which we Th cooked for supper. Having some low misgivings as to our safety, we took 8th the precaution to rest our heads upou en our guns, yet some of us had to drink some powder before we wei:e brave enough to go to sleep. During the night an acorn fell on the tub which was turned over the to grub, and we were somewhat fright ened, thinking the blood thirsty na- 22 tives were upon us. The next day all but myself went on a turkey hunt. I was to kill the 23 squirrels, but they only loft me two loads of amnunition. With much to faith in these, I struck off, and soon found six squirrels in one tree. This to was too many for me, so I passed on and found one by himself which 38 I shot, but he fell in a creek and I bu lost him. The others soon returned e with seven squirrels, when we conclu ded to move. We started across the ing crook where the beavers had uade a Po ~ dam, and we were all severely duck- h", ed-like to have been drowned. In hu our move the old man strayed off and Zet got lost, but he came in late satisfied with life in the Indian Territory. tre It was terrible cold, and as I had ou to drive while the others walked and TI had their fun killing game, I liked so' to have frozen. We went on across Mi creeks, hills, hollows, old fields, " dense forests and at last struck camps on Boggio River. We went down to the river to get water, and for a dce half mile up and down the htreamn it WaS Covcred from lank to bank with mu ducks. I would not swear there was be a million, bu. 1 think there was that 4 tany. We stood p3rfectly am:ize. i at the sight, and l(id not think aboit or shooting. Then they got frightened and( aoi'sa t(o fly, and( it seemed t hat b -a e-yel'ne was comin g. d hoon after we returned to camps,n one fellow camne in bringinlg a dutck. j another a turkey. The old man kil ed two duicks andl waded in the lake . after thtem, and Came to camps v.et and( cold, buit a rousing lire soonl dried and wairred him, La Weo concluded most of the game Ar was on the other side of the river, so a the next day wo felled servanl tre-es" in the streatm, trying in vain to find -one long enough to walk ove-r on. on Thrfus we a:'ent the day~ without suc cess. The next day while somo were preparirng breakfast, the rest were preparir.g a raft of rotten logs, by lashing them together by m3ean~s of withes, on which to cross. Sately over, we killed three turkeys andI wounded three. When we were re crossing the river on the raft, while in the midst of the stream the old man's hat blew ofi' and he had a sal ty time recovering it. The day following we wet-e all in the notion to go home, and as we were trying to find our way back to the ferry we got lost, andl the natives d.id not have enough hospitality to givo us directions. Weo finally reach eid Red River, and all were glad -enough once more to set foot on Tex as soil. The Indian Territory with its cliftsi and rocks, running water, fine timber, thousands of game of all Ikinds, native cattle and horses, hogs ' and stock of every kinod in endless Cc" variety is enough to give sport and cai! entertainment to any one. We have ,ru now been1 in Texas five years and are H well pleased with the country. H&an THoMP'soN. N 14 0- ----ago An Enterpr1ing, R~eliable House. 9 D)r. 0. WV.
