W> 'milted und over-it is done with. Hu
% there is an Act which, unless altered

? Bweep all of our property from us, am
is, as now framed, au uuending burden
We allude to the operation aud work in;
[? or two laws passed by our "wiso legisla?
tors ?
First, the law which requires cad
county to pay the costs of its own ad
. mi?isiratiou uf justice in our courts
So 1 ir, it is well enough, and as i
should bo. Rut when taken iu connez
jfr/j ion with another law recently passed
"t it works an intolerablo burdeu an
. hardship, uud a gross and foul wrong
We alludo to that law-without a lim
it or restriction-which requires thu
thc County Commissioners "ehall pa
witnesses m State cases," tho fee un
.. mileage allowed witnesses in civil eise:
Winnis, tho consequence? In ever
case iu which a negro is engaged, he hu
a host of witnesses-all of his friend
and their wives and children oro hi
witnesses, all are invited to at t'en
court. They all get, for sitting in th
Court House or idling iu,thc street, hi
or her mileage and a dollar a day. N
, - wonder they all attend-no wonder ou
Court House is crowded I rom Cour
beginning to Court ending; and wla?
the bill is footed up, thc most trivia
misdemeanor costs our county from on
huudrcJ snd fifty to two hundred am
filly dollars each, and even upwards.
With the number of cases willi whicl
thc Court of Sessions for Sumter Count;
bus bceu blessed (or years past, and tb
time required to dispose of that docket
(usually thc full two weeks') and tin
number of witnesses in attendance, an;
one can sec what an enormous amoun
of mou y must bc raised to meet thi
expense.
Who pa vs it all ? Thc lax payers, o
course. Who gets it all? Wewer
going to say (hat the idle (not tho in
I duslrious and well behaved) negro, get
it all; but eveu (bat ia not so, ll
gets a great deal of it.-perhaps I be mos
, . of ii, but there is always a bole left fo
the Radical oltioials to get a portion o
the plunder from. Il would not work
if that wat? nit tho case. Of cour.su tlx
negro gets bis pnper, calling for si
much money, accotding to thc uutnbc
of days ho has served as a witness, bu
the Treasury is never full just at th
right time for bim. Ho presents bi
paper for payment. There arc no fund
iu the Treasury, and bc must wait unti
the loxes are paid. Hut if be will (uk
75 or 80 couts on the dollar for his pa
1?ei', it can bc cashed, as a special fuvoi
it is cashed on these terms, and thou i
, is paid we can't say bow soon.
Now thia thing has just commence
to work. It is not fully underway, bu
as soon as it. is iu full blunt, thou yo
will seo our courts literally crowde
with so called casos-i. e, oases whetho
they ure cases or not, and tuoro crowde
with witnesses, whether they aro wit
nesses or not, and then Sambo, and Cu
iee, and Dinah, und Sui will mnko mot
ry enough during tho Courts (three i
j umber in each ycat) to lost them th
rest of tho year-that is provided th
tate of discount don't get too high ; an
then some folks will grow rich fuste
than ever, and live high und easy o
other people's money. Talk ubot
lexes-when that beats all.

REPORT OF
Th* i .??me? ft* (mil
To ike Ayricullurai andJUa?anktil
Society o/ Sumter. 9 .
The Committee regret that, from th?
want of practical experience, they ?re
unable lu preaen t sieh a report oo tba
.abjeet as they believe it? importance
demanda. Io tfite oouuty, bee raising
baa ooC heretofore boen engaged in to
any great extent, or with a view to it,
as a source of profit, further tban a
means of furnishing a eoppty of honey
for homo consumption, and consequent?
ly little or no progress has been made,
either in the mode of tn?naging, or in
the knowledge ol the characteristics and
habits of tho "busy little worker."
We all have beeo content to wslk in
"tilo old beaten track," aud about all
the attention that wo have given, is to
put tho boes into a box, aud when it
becomes full of comb, consign its in?
mates to a pit of fire and brimstone and
muko use ot their hard earned stores.
This being tho ouse, it is small won?
der that there hits been such little sue
oess achieved that many persons consid?
er tho raising of honey rather a tmall
afluir. In this, as in any other pursuit,
intelligence, study, and close attention
?re absolutely oocessary to ensure sao
cess, but tho Committee arc clearly of
opinion that, with these requisites, bee
culture can bc made to yiold as large
und perhaps a larger interest on the
capitul employed, thun almost any oth?
er pursuit. Tho following arc some ex?
amples of its profits, tuken from a work
on bee keeping, by D. L. Adair, of Han?
cock Co., Ky.
??Mrs. E. S. Tupper, of Iowa, reports
a stock of Italian boes tliut stored ono
hundred aud fifty six pounds o? hon
Cy?A. W. Ford, of Middleville, N. Y.,
from one hundred and thirty stocks,
received six thousand pounds surplus
houcy io boxes, and one huudrcd und
seventy new swarms." ?
"Charles Baumcl, of De Witt, Iowa,
commenced with one stock, which
swarmed twice. The first swarm stored
ninety pounds box ho/iey, while thc
second swarm filled its hive, and stored
thirty pounds."
"J. M. M., St Ciiarles, TH., writes:
[ have taken from three swarms of bees
seventy five pounds of houey each.
From u stook of Italians, two hundred
pounds were tuken ; nnd seventy-five
pounds each were taken from two stocks
that swarmed out last spriug for thc
want of tood."
Those results, though obtained at the
North, show conclusively that honey
raising is profitable, when properly
managed ; and we believe, that all that
is necessary to secura like results at
the South, is tho same caro of, and at?
tention to tho bees. lu other States it
is necessary to cultivate the flowers,
from which the bees may extract honey,
while we of thc South have the advan?
tage of vast extent of forests, which
abound wi'h flowers throughout the
greater portion of the year, thus saving
tho necessity of cultivating tho flowers,
besides^giving thc bees a much lunger
time in which to work.
The first thing to bc dono, in the
way of improvements, is to do away with
jur old fashioned log and box hives;
ind obtain*those improvements which
tro in use in other parts of the country;
ind when we havo these improved hives,
vc must learn tho " habits, wants,
ind dangers of the bees, so that we cnn
ltd them when necessary, both in laying
ip their stores, and iii successfully con
ending with those enemies which oth
irwise may destroy them.
There is a variety of bees culled Ifa
isns, which arc highly recommended,
s being more industrious, less apt to
ting, and as being, in every way, mueh
icttcr than the common black bee ; but
he committee, not yet having obtained
hem, cannot speak 0/ them from their
wu knowledge, but would recommend
ll keepers of bees to obtain, and give
Item a fair trial.
The committee would not bc nndcr
tood ns recommending bee culture as a
nrsuit to which thc whole of any one's
me and attention should bo given, but
nly ns one to which spare time from
I her callings, may, not only pleasantly,
ut profitably bo devoted ; and which
iay bc made to fill many a corner of
ir pockets, which, otherwise, would
.main a painful vncuum. We believe
mt our chief business herc nt the
011th, is cultivating the soil, manufuo
tring our products, and their kindred
iirsuirs ; and that these smaller indus
?es, ns they arc sometimes called, thouhl
? attended to in what nre culled
idd moments," which oro 'generally
tent in idloness.

Titi Al. OF LABORSAVING AGRI*
CDLTDBAL 1RIPI.B9IBNT8.
Quite an interesting exhibition of
labor-saving plow?, or cultivators, took
placo at the farm of Rev. E. A. ED
WART'S, io the suburbs of the town, OD
Saturday last.
Thc farmers and planters of Sumter
County were present, in very considera?
ble number, and embracing tho best
citizens of the county. A general fcel
iug of interest was manifested, and the
trial of the ituplemonts present, did
more, perhaps, to demonstrate sutis
factorally the practicability and impor
tance to our agricultural community, of
applying to our soil tho improvements of
the day, than anything which has yet
transpired in our midst. Many saw and
realized the fact (hat wu were far behind
in this*respect.
Col. JOHN B. MOORS and tho Messrs.
FI.UDD, exhibited a plow of great pow?
er, for turning over the soil, in' prepara?
tion for planting, known as "Black's
Patent Sulky Plow," and manufactured
by Mr. W. S. IIENEREY, of Charleston.
It was first tested with six mules attach?
ed, with one driver, in tho scat which
surmounts the carriage, and a rider upon
ono of the lead animals. Thoy moved
ulong with grertt facility, pulling two
large plows (which are attached to drag
beams in rear) through the earth, at ?
?depth of ten or twelve inches, and turn?
ing over and thoroughly breaking up
about twenty-eight inches in width as it
passed along. Trial of it with four
mules was then made, with a Uko result,
and this was thought to bo ample horse?
power for all light or sandy soils-the
six animals being necessary only in
close day lands. It was also tested with
iwo mules, one of the plows being de?
tached, the result being satisfactory.
This plow is run on wheels, oatt bo made
by the manufacturer for two, four or six
animals, and, in lands where there are no
stumps, is no doubt of great vu!ue in
turning over sod or other lauds* in
wintt r.
These gentlemen also exhibited a one
horse cultivator, known as "Excelsior
No. 2," manufactured by Messrs. Ford
& Howe, atOncota, N. Y. This sremed
tn elicit almost uuivcisal approbation.
This implement runs three plows, and
in cultivating cotton or corn, is estima?
ted to accomplish fully the work of two?
and-a-hulf plows of thc ordinary con?
struction. The animal is attached in
shafts, pulling by a whipple tree, and
moving along with much ease, plowing
jut effectually an ordiuary corn row, by
passing through it twice. The plows
ire arranged two in front and one in
he rear, with a small wheel situated in
:hc centre, by which tbe depth to bc
run is regulated, the rear plow covering 1
he two leaders or breaking out tho i
?paco left by them. It is believed that (
his implement with some change of thc i
iocs attached will become of great i
itiiity in this section. An agency for *
his cultivator will likely be established
it Sumter,of which our planting friends I
viii bc advised in these columns. Ie i
s sufficiently cheap to place it within :
he reach of our farmers of ordinary <
neans. j
Kev. IO. A. EDWARDS exhibited thc
'Buckeye Sulky Plow," which is drawn i
ty two animals, and a cultivator used l
villi so much success in the western
?tates. It is a great labor saver, and .
iropcrly handled, would accomplish \
iiucli for our sect inn.
Mr. JOHN S. RICHARDSON exhibited I
ono horse cultivator, which carries I
cvcral plows, adjusted toa carriage so I
oust fueled that the whole machine sits
lorizontally upon tho ground, and moves 1
long, harrow-like, upon au even plano.
lr. Richardson used this implement 11
rith some success in his crop last year, I
ut as a cultivttor of like grade, regarde c
ho "Excelsior No 2" as of greater util- ?
fy. '1
Mr. B. F. WILSON, of Salem, exhibit
d a ono horse "sweep," of his own ?
onstruction, somewhat ofter the form of j fl
he "Dixon swoop," whioh is no doubt a I
eoided improvemont in later plow-j a
ig, for cleaning out thc orop, after tho ' T
ind hos been broken up. o
Mr. JOHNS. RICHARDSON, also ex- ,;
i bi ted Murphcy's Subsoil Plow,
DOO horse) which is now attract- ? p
ig considerable sttontion. It is intend?
ri to follow in thc furrow of an ordinary V
im plow, breaking up tho subsoil (?

THE RURAL CAROLINIAN FOR FBB
? RU ART.-In a few short months, The
Rural Carolin inn has, by , its attractive
appearance and varied contents of never
failing merit, become a standard Agri
cultural Magazine, and is this day as
anxiously looked for and attentively pe*
ruged by ito thousand of readers as if it
had been published for a century. Its
devotion to tho practical aud scientific
development of Southern agriculture,
give it a peculiar character, and value,
not only to the people of the South,
whom it more immediately affects, but
also to Northerners and Europeans, to
whom tho South is a sort of China or
Japan, but recently opened to their in?
vestigation. Tho number now before
us is a splendid illustration of what
brains and enterprise eau do when aid?
ed by thu sympathy and interest of our
enttro people. With sixty eight pagos
of reading matter (four more than the
usual number) it has not an article in
it that would not please thc most prac?
tical farmer, and yet there is much to
entertain und instruct the general rea?
der. The illustrations are useful as
well as ornamental, and tile likeness of
DcLesseps is worthy ol being preserved
as a life like representation of a great
man, the moviug spirit of a wonderful
achievement. The typographical exe?
cution is superb, and the publication, as

Pont BURWRLL, March 33d, 1889.
Messrs. PERRY DAVIS A SON,
SIRS :-I am pleased to notify yon of
the benefit which I have received from Allen's
Lung Balsam, having been troubled with a
cough for several yoars past, the Balsam was
recommended to me. I immediately prooured it,
and found it to reliore my cough moro readily
thmi nny thing I ever tried. My wife baa also
used it with most satisfactory results.
Yours very Truly,

IRRITABLE INVALIDS.
Indigestion not only affects tho physical health
but tho dispositions and tempera of its victims.
Tho dyspeptic becomes, too, in s measure de?
moralized by his sufferings. Ile is subject to
fits of irritation, sullenness or despair, aa the
CUPO may be. A preternatural sensitiveness
which bo cannot control, leads him to miscon?
strue tho words ond ucts of those around bim,
nnd bis intercourse even with those nearest and
dcore8t to him is not unfrcquently marked by
exhibitions of testiness foreign to his real nature.
These aro tho mental phenomena of the disease,
fur which tho invalid cannot bo justly held re?
sponsible, but they occasion much household dis
comfort. It is to the interest of the home cir
ole, it \s essential to family harmony as well as
to tho rescue of the principal sufferer from a
state not fur removed from incipient insanity,
that theso symptoms of montai disturbance bo
promptly removed. This can only be dono by
removing their physical oauso, a, derangement of
tho functions of tho stomach and its allied vlf?
ecru, tho livor and tho bowels. Upon these,
Ihreo important organs Hosteller's Stomach Bit
tors act simultaneously, producing a thorough
and salutary chango in their condition. Tho
vegctnblo ingredients of which the preparation ia
composed aro of a renovating, regulating ?nd
ultorative character and the stimulant which
lends activity to their remedial virtues is the
purest nnd boat t li at can bo extracted from the
most holosomo of nil cereals, via: sound rye.
No dyspeptic can take this genial restorative for
a singlo week without experiencing a notablo
improvement in his general health. Not only
will his bodily sufferings abato from day to day,
but bis mind will recover rapidly from its rest?
lessness and irritability, nnd this happy chan re
will manifest itself in his demeanor to uti ?round
him. [fen.
