Tub Fbsck Law in Andkbson.?The fence
law is gradually gaining favor all over the State, V
niul just now the farmers of Edgefield arc debating
as to whether or not they should have
its provisions extended to their County. Unless
Edgefield has considerably more timber than
most of the other Counties in the up-country,
nnd a great deal more than it has any use for
at present, or will be able to utilize iu the future;
unless her farmers have a great deal more time
in which to split rails, build and repair fences,
etc.? than those of sister counties, she will find
the fence law a great blessing. Indeed, we believe
every county in the State, with one or two
exceptions, would find (his law beneficial to the l
interests of its citizens. Let those who doubt
it couie to Anderson, where it has beeu in ope- ?
ration only oue year and three months, aud see ;
for thcmseles what it has done for our farmers.
Hundreds?we might truthfully say thousands t
?of acres of productive land have been put in
cultivation that had long since been thrown away
simply because it could not be fenced and which x
was fast going to ruin ; I lie quality of our stock
is being improved while the quantity is being ,
reduced ; the value of our farms Is being enhanced
; the labor and money that was formerly 1
put in long and unbroken lines of fencing is be- 1
ing devoted to permanent improvements in the
wnv nf itftnH (utilise.* rmnfiirliilde and cheerful 1
J "v"w?-?
homes?blessings that till mankind crave ard long
for?and in many other ways wc arc reaping inestimable
benefits from its wholesome operation. \
Those who opposed its adoption in this County
now sec and recognize its wisdom, while those <
who favored it enjoy ninny benefits they never
dreamed of obtaining from it. The universal 3
verdict is, the law is a most excellent one, and
wc would not be without it for any consideration. ,

y its people in the cultivation of flowers, and
'o venture to say that in this respect the town
f Union is not surpassed l>y any Goramuuity of
qunl number of inhabitants upon this contlent.
Almost cv?ry houso has a flower pit or
onservatory, where the choicest flowers oro
ultivated to perfection ; and no lady among us
as displayed more intelligence and taste in this
elightful employment, than our venerable and
stcemcd friend, Mrs. M. J. Clarke. Although
o\v in her 08th year her love of beautiful flowers
< as fresh as it was In the days of her youth,
nd her collection is at choice and rare as can

to our room it spread its delightful fra;ruucc

We unintentionally neglected last week to noIp^tbe
Interesting protraotod meeting which was
ield in Hiq Methodist Church at this place the
reejt previous.
The quarterly Conference was closed on Sunlay
before auJ it was found that a very roligous
feeling had been awakened by the fcrveut
nd ito^pmve discourses of the Presiding Elder
nd'TOre^mnle.ere of that body, the fruits o^
vhich tho Hev. It. D. Smart, the Pastor of the
hurch, with his usunl zeal for tho cause of his
daster, determined should not be lost without
. faithful effort on his part to save them, lie
hereforo held a series of meetings during tho
vcen, at winch lie aelvcreu uaiiy sermons 01
incominon powor and effect, nnd labored incesautly
with those who evinced any desire to
learaud be convinced of the truth of the glorious
;ospel of Christ. We are glad to state his la>ors
were not in vain, and that ho was rewarded
>y the addition of seven?ouverts to the church.
l'robably no Minister was ever stationed in
his town who has been more faithful to the
ligh and noble calling of Christianity thau ltev.
I. D. Smart, and not one has commanded more
if the love audcoufidcnce of every class and rcli.
pous beliof of the community, lie is no ordiia\*y
man. With a highly cultured iniud, a
satholic spirit and an untiring devotion to the

ho blessing of God, to do an immense amount
if good wherever he may be called to labor.

JestruQtivo Tornado at Walterboro.
Wo have nofroom for the full acccount of a
Ircndful tornado which passed over the town of
Walterboro, the County seat of Colleton County,
ast Wednesday, Jestrojing nearly every house
n tnvvn inrlmlincr Hovnn r.liurrliOM. killincr from
I to 12 persons [and seriously injuring several
thers. So great was the destruction of proprty
and so destitute were tho people left that
lie Governor has thought it necessary to appeal
o the people of the State for prompt and subtantinl
aid.
From what we have read in the Daily papers,
lmost every town in tho State have already reponded
to the call and sent forward creditable
motints to their suffering fellow citizens of
i'nlterboro, fttid we cannot believe that the
cople of Union will stand alone 'n rcfuing
to respond to this call upon their humility.
Wo must do something for Walterboro,
ud that at once. We hope some one or more
ict-sons will move in the matter and get up subcriptions
for tho sadly stricken people of that
own. A small sum from each one will not be
nisscd by us aud will relieve the distress of our
teighbors.

lolmont Circuit Parsonage Burned.
We regret to learu that about midnight las'
Friday, the Parsonage of Belmont Circuit, at
>oss Keys, was destroyed by fire, with all its
iontents.
It wns the dinbolical act of an incendiary, ns
ire had not been in the building for nearly five
vceks. The Minister, Rev. E. M. Merrill nnd
iis.l':\milyt having becu on a visit to his wife's
mrents at Ulsliopvillc during that time.
About a year ago an addition wtu? made to the
louse, and in January Inst the Ladies in ihe
ricinity of Cross Keys refurnished the house alnost
t iroughout. Tho loss to Mr. Morritt is
cry serious, as all his boohs, a largo amount of
slothing and other personal property belonging
o tho family were destroyed.
Tho fire was first discovered in the new part
if the building, but wits uuder such headway
hat it was impossible to save uny portion of it
ir its conteuts. Tho loss cannot be much short
if $1U00.
That tho building was robbed before it was
et on fire, there is every reason to believe, and
vc have no doubt, if proper vigilcnce is cxer:ised,
some of tho property will be found and
he rascals detected.

PATRONIZE HOKE ENTERPRISES*
Mk? Jium/r ;-?ty is strikingly strange how
our ptoplc wity taka hold of uew-faugled notions, y,
quaoks aud hiliubugs, and turn the oold shoul- ,t
dor, or giro the go bye to old and tried frienda [
nnd things. *
So often do we hoar doctrine iuoulcuted by g
the press, upon the stump, and in ooiuuiuii ai
everyday conversation, to make and produce n
all our necessaries al homo, (so for as we |(
cuu) ana euoouragc and pa(roniie home en- e

practices would naturally conclude that we f(
buy but very litllo from abroad and that 0]
money is flush among us, all tho time. Hut, 'p
sad to relate, such is far from being the case.?
Instead of practicing that which we teach to p
others and getting thoroughly in the way of w
making and producing alt, or nearly all, our
necessaries for houie consumption, and patrouiz- ?
iug our home culerprizes, we are buying more n
Guano from abroad, pluutiug more cotton aud

ii'ss gruiu , uuu oiiii inure men e>ei in nig pwi, q
we are buyiug nearly all Hie provisions wo cat, p
nearly all the shoes ami clothes that wo wear, p
nearly all the wheels that we ride on, nearly all n
the implements and machinery that we use, aud, a
in fact, nearly every thing is bought frAn the e
North out of the small proceeds of our king, Cut* ?
ton. Even the very seeds that we plant aud p
the trees that we expect to eat fruit from aro ],
now being bought from the North. f
To give you au example how our peoplo will ?
refuse to patronize un enterprise which is, 1 j
might say, nearly right uniong us, and ono y
which hus been thoroughly tested and found a
perfectly reliable, and how they will take right c
hold of someihiug that is a way off in the heart of p
the North, entirely untried aud unknown by us, B
let me relate what happened only a few days c
ago, right in my immediate neighborhood, and
which cuiiic under my personal kuowledge : s
There came around a gentleman on foot, ro- 0
presenting a Fruit Tiee Nurseiy in North (Jaro- c
litia, our sister State, whose brave sous wore the g
same gray, bore the same arms, and marched e
shoulder to shoulder under the same Hag, and ]:
fought, bled aud died for the "lost cause" with v
the heroes of our beloved State of South Caro- \
linn. This man, sliowiug by his economical 8
way of traveling that he was not for making c
a fortune in a day, was told when he asked v
our people to subscribe for Fruit Trees, 8
that, "we can't subscribe for Fruit Trees to-day." 8
And so lie passed on, plodding his way, wea- 8
t ied and worn. lie was representing a nursery ^
which is of long standing, and one that has proven a
to be reiiuble. l!o was selling fruit scions at
Ho cents apiece, and, as usual, replace all that
did not live, free. This protni.se ihcy will make
good, for 1 know a man living uot two miles
from here, who bought trees from a Greensborough
Nursery, and when some of the trees
died, they replaced them free. Just upon the
heels of the aforesaid gentleman, there couies T
along an oily tongued follow, in fine apparel, '
with a negro man driving him around behind
two line horses, representing a nursery in l'cnn- "J
sylvania, when lo and behold ! somo of those t
same gentlemen,?and they are among our best,
uud inost intelligent citizens,?w o had said no n
to the poor man on foot, now says i/cs, to the p
Northern dealer aud slaps their names down to n
a contract reading something after this form : t
l'lense forward to me the following bill of
trees, shrubs, plants, etc., to Union,"S. 0. I
On the delivery of this bill of trees, etc., at
the above uauied place, it shall be considered as v
delivered to me, at which time and place 1 '1
promise to pny to yon, or your order, the sum u
i f dollars and ?cents, for value re- I
ceivcd, and 1 hereby expressly agree to waive i
all my right to avail myself of the Homestead f
and other exemption laws of this State, as to *
the liability assumed in signing this contrac*. 11
I positively agree that I will not countermand c
this order; and if, by accident or otherwise, my >
order should not arrive on the day ubovc named, t
1 will receive the same if delivered at the above a
named, place within ten days thereafter. t
Signed, ?
The price of the trees for which this binding
obligation is given is one dollar a piece, without 1
any written promise or obligation ou the part of *
i IIU iiursury. ?
The trees coming from so far, may be delayed
on the way for some time, so that by the time c
they get to their owners, a large part, if not all i
of them, may be dead, and there is uo redress, <
and it is a clear loss. Not so with the nurseries *
near home, for, as 1 have above stated, if any of 1
the trees, etc., are dead on arrival or die after
planting out, you may send your order back 1
and have them replnced gratis, <
Now, why is it that we cannot discern "the 1
signs of the times" when thiugs are so clear
and plain ?
Is there a man in our midst who is so blind
or ignorant, ns not to see enough in one day's '
observation to convince liim that no people
can prosper who thus continue such inconsistent
practices.
The questions are easily answered, but I fear
"that we are not soon to be converted from the
error of our ways. N. W. 1>,

Mb. Editor :?We were visited with a good
ruin last week, which was greatly needed, not
only to soften the grouud for the plowman but
to keep wheat, outs, &c.. growing. The area of
wheat is much less than formerly, (the full being
very rainy) but wlint was sown is looking well ;
but remembering the old adage, "there is many
a Blip betwixt the cup nnd lip," we are not disposed
to brag much on wheat as yet. There is
one thing very certain, however, about it, it is
sale froui the incursions of "spike nose hags,"
and "inuley ?Us" and that is one consolation.
Com planting on uplands all done, and those
who are so fortunate as to own cultivatable bottoms
are preparing tliem for planting.
More cotton has been planted than usual, up
to this time, though many farmers have planted
none yei. i nc area or cotton win dc as much, l
or inore than lust year, and we are all expecting j
to get a l>ig price fur it. i

week we published the marriage notice of Mr.
Philemon Sanders and Sliss lllancet Garrett,
daughter of Mr. J. W. Garrett, of this place.?
This week it is our sad duty to announce the

Wednesday the Otli inst., and started off on a
bridal tour with bis lovely bride on the saiue
morning, on the trnin for Charleston, en route
for his father's residence near Wallerboro, In
Colleton County, reaching there on the next day.
On last Wednesday, the lGth inst., just one
weok after his marriage, he rode up to the town
of Walterboro, seven miles from his father's
residence, and while paying a visit at Dr. G. M.
River's house, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
the terrible tornado struck Iho town of Walterboro,
and he was among the number killed by
the falling of Dr. Rivers' house during the

Mh> Editor:?I tee In your last issue Umt
ju wish some iuformutiob i'rom eUch Township
i the ooatiiy and being a citiien of Bagnnsvilie
am disposed to glyo job sum* news of my
ownshlp. We ?rv the border Towuship to
partuuburg County, and blessed with the finest
ud purest water that gashes from the earth?
ot only freestone but mineral, but their ohent:al
properties I am not able to give. 1 howvcr
can safely say the West Spciagg water has
ery superior medicinal quaTitl#i^p?*elW*tarly **** ~ ? -<
>r the cure of such diseases as Dyspepsia,
hronio Diarrhea and general debility, &o.?
his Spring has never received its duo merit'for
s efficacy. Besides, we linvo what is called tho
ruett Spring aud Sulpher Spring both of
hioh have tlkeir share of mineral properties,
ut arc of littlo note, and why ! because we
ecd capital to give them promincnco ; convetence
of access and a trial is all that is needed
) give them a prominent placo among the resorts
f nolo. But is this alljour Township has to
oast of? No, t lie half is not told. We have tha
rccious melnlsyct unseen, such as gold the most
ecessary as well as most precious metal of all,
nd thul in greater abundance than.in any oth*
r section of tlio State. We have 3 or 4 gold
nines that have no equal anywhere in the State,
T properly worked ; nnd a greater yield can bo
ad with lcs? labor than from any other mine. I
requently hear of men who understood it, pan*
ing out 8 to 5 pennyweights per day. TheNott
line, the Thomson Mine, the Black Mine, tho
mitli & Posey Mine, are all four rich in gold, ?
nd it is strange to mo why capitalists do not
omo and work them out. In my judgment it \
s a second California. I hope the time will
oon come when confidence will be restored and
npilol and labor become pleutiful.
As to our Farming resources, they ennnot b?l
urnassed anywhere. We hate the North Bide
f Tiger Itiver, the beautiful Stream of Fair Forst
through our centre, and the far famed
lugar Creek in our midst, leaving out othr
tho minor streams, suoli as old South says,
lockey Crock. These streams are bordered
rith the finest of low lands adjacent to uplands.
I'll ere is the Township that can beat this, lieides,
wo have about three miles squaro that is
ailed the Meadowwoods that abounds with
-hat is called tho "Negro Head" rock which is
apposed by some to contain Iron ore. This
ection is pertectly level and is a good grazing
ection for stock. I can't say anything about
ho Stock Law just now, but will give you news
sjtlto law devolopcs, but think all well.

Letter From Brown's Store. yy
Mu. Editor.?Thinking your readers will
ot objection few moro items from this vicinity,
rith yonr permission I will give you a few
'dots" occasionally.
The farmers are busy preparing and planting.
'here seems to be a c:uccrt of action among
hem, us a general rulo, and if we have uo disstcr
between this and harvest we may safely
iredict a better financial stato in this coinnuidty
than we have heretofore been accustomed
o.
Messrs. J. W. McLure & Co. arc pushing
heir work at the Gold mine to the point where
to believe they will reap a handsome income.?
'hey have just got their machinery to the Mino,
,ud will doubtless, in a few days, he getting tlio
tare gold dust from the ore. lly-the-wny, this
s not the only Gold Mino in this beautiul
section of o'd Union, and if we had a few
uore such enterprising men as tho gentlemen
,t the head of this we would soon startle the
tountry by the development of the rich mineral
csourccs of our community. Mr. Juo. Seery,
he efficient foreman at the mine, and who for
> long time lias made mining his business, says
ho McLure Mine is one of the lichest he has
ivor worked.
Tne Stock Law is working well up here, and
lie people, as they become more acquainted
villi its benefits, arc fulling in with the arr&ugenents
gladly.
Wo have had no deaths or weddings right rotcntly
in our coiumuuity, but there are good in*
1 i cat ions of some weddings after awhile. Some
if our young men are busy all along this lino,
mil will surely get either wifu or slippers before
ong.
We will he glad to hear from our friend Dick
Duxdas again, and from other persons from
>ther Townships in the County. Come, friends,
et us give the news to tho Editor of the Timet,

pletcly inundated. The track of the South Carjlina
Itailroad in the cut nenr this place woe
