Queen Anne's Farthing.
When we were a boy we often beard it said 1
that the i?crson who found a Queen Anne's Far- !
thing would be rich. Well, if that is the ease, j
we think our friend Tiios. McXa'ly is a rich !
man. fur lie showed us an Knglish Farthing 1
which \\a< evidently irMted in (lie reign of Queen 1
Anne, as I lie inscription upon it is very plain, ;
as fe'lowr. "Anno Ilex Anne," but the actual i
ilatc is obliterated. If any one should wish to j
make a spec on! of it they can apply to MeNally.

A Sad Killing.
nov. it. b. White, a promising young Baptist
Minister, who had but recently married Miss
Turner, ol' Spartanburg, was shot in tlie head
and instantly killed one day last week, while
riding in a buggy with his young wife, 011 their
way from .Manning to Sumter, to attend the
liapiist Convention then in session at the latter
place. A colored man was arrested upou sus- 1
picion of coiiynittiiig the shocking net, but after*
aids a lad about 1" years old confessed that
he accidentally shot him in shooting at a hawk.
The body of the deceased passed up on the
llailis ad to Spartanburg last Saturday, It was
truly a sad afl'air for all parties, and we sincerely
sympathise with them.
The legislature.
This body convened in tbc $late House nt Columbia

Fence or No Fenoe.
ia our issue this week will be found two at Civics
upon the working of the Stock law in North
Carolina, to which we call the attention of thoso
iu litis County who arc opposed to changing our
present system. The one on our fourth page,
from L). \Y. C. lleubow, is entitled to cvory consideration,
from the fact that he was one of a
co mm it tee* appointed by the North Carolina
Slate Agricultural Society for the special purpose
of investigating the matter and procuring
all the information that could he obtained from
parties who had tested the etl'ccts and advantages
of the new law, and the statement, we republish
is a part of the official report to the Society.
Men who oppose the law in this County
do so under the impression that it will work a
hardship upon certain classes of citizens. They
know nothing at all about its effects, and base
their opinions upon supposablc cases. The sau/c
opinions were held by those who opposed ,the
change in those counties where the stock Ian/ is
now in force, but the practical working u^'the
change has convinced thctn that their fears were
groundless and they arc now the strongest ud
vocatcs of the new law. Under its protection |
hundreds of acres of old field land, which had
Ui'CUw't/.'.'PV.'il.JR}1 foe nothing but lo
made profitable in raising food for the fenced
up stock and crops for market.
So it tvould be here, if we had the stock law
in force. Hundreds of acres of idle land helonging
to poor widows and farmers would not
only he made profitable to their owners by the
crops made upon them, but increase I in value
three-fold. Every floor man or woman who
owns a farm or lot of land in the County could
| make everi/ acre now lying useless produce
enough to feed a cow a year, and, by proper
management, tlie land would improve every
year.
The past summer vre have fed a cow almost
entirely, and kept a calf rolling fat, fiout a little
over a quarter of an acre of clover, besides
cutting from it enough hay to feed lour head
three weeks since the pastures gave out, and
have now left enough of the hay to last a cow a
month. It only requires a little more labor and
better mauugeiuent, to convince every poor and
rich farmer that the Stock law is better for the,
owner of the laud better for the renter, better
for the stock and far better for the land<itsc'.f
than the present expensive law. At any rate,
the experiment is ccituitily worth a trial, particularly
as counties around us have made tl.c
change and found it so beneficial and popular.
We think the l.ugislattffe slfvul'd. have pas-cJ
the law without referring it- Dick ami

Hero's tho Difference.
A short time ago S-*>,0(?0 was stolen from I lie
.Souther/t Express Company, between Yctn u-sec
in this.'itate and Augiisia Georgia, 'flic Kx; ress
Company promptly made good this amount,
which was lost by its Agent.
Not so with the "best government the world
ever saw." Over two years ago the government
of the Vnited States, through its agent, F,. Ca?s
Carpenter, Revenue Collector of the District of
South Carolina, contracted a debt with us
uinouutfiig to the paltry sum of twenty-six
dollars. Over a year ngo Carpenter proved a
defaulter, for how much wo do not know ; hut
we learn that a larj;c portion of tho >li.f
lias since been paid to tlie government. We
have written frequently to Washington about it,
ami the only consolation we can receive from
that quarter is that "Carpenter's accounts have
not been settle'!." From that we arc led to
suppose that if Carpenter's accounts arc never
settled we are not to be paid, notwithstanding
tlie government holds a large portion of his defalcation
which, to the union tit of our hill, belongs
to us. Cp.on such ruling titty rascal the
government may employ can cheat citizens out
of money honesty due them, and if helms given
straw bail?Uudie.nl bail?or his accounts arc
unaccountable, there is no hope for the poor \
creditor. We prefer trusting to the honor of the |
->uni iiitii i.stress? onipnii^ than lliul of I lie great s

Where Can Hampton Best Servo the StatoIt
is the opinion of the Greenville Enterprise
ami Mountaineer that the services of Governor
Hampton are "indispensiblc nt home, and it
hopes that he will continue to servo the people
in the same sphere where he has rendered such
great and eminent usefulness." We would re- P1
mind our contemporary t hat the fight for con- cl
stitiitional government is to he made hereafter t(
in Washington, not in South Carolina, and for -jj
that reason tbdknon can do far more service in
the Senate ti^^ii the otnte-llouse.?rNcws ami a
Courier. ti
We agree with tho Metes and Courier. The s
great fight for the constitutional rights of the ?
Southern Stales will be made hereafter in Con- ti
gross?particularly in tho U. S. Senate?and the s
people of thc'South will display their wisdom f
in sending to the Senate such a true but cotiser- c
vative Southern representative as Hampton.?
We believe he will be able to do ntoro oood for o
Soutli Carolina in the United State tht^^ic can 1
as Governor. c
The denyitjratic fight in the Southern States t
has been litde and a glorious victory won, and r
it now retinitis for the people of the South to s
exemplify ji the Halls of Congress that it was s
not a victor- of oppression to any class or rebel- t
lion to th Jnilion, but a victory for the rights of f
"all and pew and harmony between the sections, t
y? *i-oih could do more for the i
South, t>>;Vr*iinmpton In "Iho ScnatcrTiTrirntfrwould
fairlyreprescnt the true spirit and ton- t
per of the ppp'c of Soutli Carolina. i
It is nut guide that lie would consent to servo I
a third tern/us Govcruor, consequently in the
campaign 1SSO wo could not with any con- i
sistency calupon him to again sacrifice so much 1
of his titut and labor for the perpetuity of a i
goveriuiiot in which ho would have no power f
to fulfil podge ho may -make to the people, t
That he \^<ild ho willing to again spend uud be <
spent iti Ijpilf his tiativc State, although not a t
catidi l.wT^ilavc no douht;]hut he coirhl assume /
no rcspansibilty nor make any promise for the 1
conduct of th?c who would folluw him. In |
that event tit lalisniainc power of his word t
wollid be lost 1
Intellectttftly, atul morally Gov Simpson is the
peer of Gov. Hampton; while his ^trv years of I
intimate ofiititd association with the latter has I
given him a fill knowledge of the plans and '
course which have made the govcrnuieut so I
popular and : yeeessful in the SlKlc an?T placod <
the name t Hampton among the first of states-1
men and patriots of this country. Governor <
Simpson would have the ability, sagacity :Mid *
incentive to follow in the footsteps of his ill us- '
trious prele^ssor," ami the Slate would sullcr I
tio detriment at his hands. I
We may all talk about who was the first, the 1
boldest or the ablest straight-out advocate in '
tiie .State, hut it was the couibiuud sagacity, for

Mil. Editor :?The Hoard of County Cotniiiisoners
deserves utul is receiving the Coin monitions
of the faithful creditors and loyal tax- (
ayers of the County, for refusing to pay the
luitns of those who have bought from specula)rs,

iuzzards, bills of the old Dank of the Stnte,
nd tendered tlicin for county taxes, at least unit
other creditors havo been paid. Indeed it
eems to be the height of impudence fot one

tx-payers and creditors of the county, to preume
to ask the Coinmissioiiet s to put liiui on u

IF the past indebtedness of the county lias been

in the welfare of the County and who desire
o sec her credit once mere restored, to find the
ealization of their hopes frustrated by the
poliations of some of our own citizens, who,
o to speak, have pocketed their patriotism and
radod off that plank of the Democratic plat'orm
pledging the party to Free Schools, lew

josijibly may have imagined that it was nccessa y

These who happened to have thein on

taid full value for ihcni, testy l.e excused for
endcring them for taxes, and if the purchased
nils had been tendered simply for State taxes,
hero would be no special cause for complaint,
or then the burden of the deficiency would be
ionic by the State, livery dollar tendered for
bounty taxes is to that extent compelling Union
Jouuly to pay more than her share of the Slate

The following argument has been u.-ed as an
ixciisc for tendering State bills for county tax
to wit: That the Supreme Court of the
United States has dccideyl that they are receivajle
for nil taxes levicThy^UiC Stale, ami as the

A Brilliant Wedding.
The dull monotony of our quiet comioiinily
was broken on the afternoon of the 14th, by the
brilliant marriage of one of Union's fairest
daughters, Miss Gallic Jefl'ories, to Dr. \V. A.
Foibsof Chester County. The ceretnotiy was
l>erforiued with dignity and solemnity by Uov.
J. II. Wilson at the residence of the bride's lather,
Samuel Jcileries Esq., before a very largo
assembly. At G o'clock t he bridal couple ma io
their appearance. I have never seen a more elegant
outfit than the one worn by the bride ; ~
white silk dress, with a most elegant lace overskirt,
trimmed with beautiful orange blossoms, a
long flowing veil and head adorned with an elegant
coronet. In fact she presented quite a
queenly appearance. Hut you know .Mr. Editor
that a man cannot properly describe a lady's
dress. The groom was dressed in conventional
black, and made a very handsome appearance.
Soon after the congratulations were over the
guests were invited to tho marriage feast ; and
truly there was everything heart could wish ;
but 1 refrain from uu enumeration and will only
say that every one was /'it/'/ satisfied add there

equally as grand. After refreshing tlie inner
man ihfceveuiftg was spout in social conversation,
interspersed wit It delightful music, futtiished
by sonic of tlie hcauliful ladies iprcseut
and (lie bride. Tlie enjoyment ot the evening #
was kept up until a late hour when the party
returned to tlicitljteifctcs delighted.
The happy piur^cft the next day for Chester,

the gentlemen composing the two committees
appointed to examine into the practical workings
of the "no fence" law in Mecklenburg,
have returned. One of these comuittiittecs was
appointed by the Koanoke and Tar Kivor Agricultural
Socicly, the other hy the State Agricul?
Hint I Society. The gemlemcn selected for this
purpose are admirably suited for such n mission.
On arrival at the scene of their labors, they
made careful examination of the benefits of the
law, which lias t.?w been in force in Mecklen- ~ *s
burg sutliciciiily long to have been put to a crucial
test.
Diligent inquiry developed tlio fact thai with
the great majority of the people the law found
favor, and that the expense account of the farmers
show s notable reductions. The committees,
there! ne, return iinprcssscd with the manifold
a (vantages of the law and will in a few days
rep'rt. The committee of the lloi.nckc and
Tar Uiver Society will report to that body and
then make public their report in the press of
the .Slate. The other committee will report to
