They arc beautifully situated in Stanley County, about twenty miles North of Wadesboro, a station uu the Carolina Central and Cheraw and Salisbury Railroads. Over half a century ag i. before the lauds of the Pee Doe section bad been properly drained, it was almost certain death for the planters and their families to remain at homo during the Summer months, hence the discoverv and settlement of ltocky ltivor Springs. The springs and a large surrounding tract of land were preempted by several of the rich planters of the low country, the Withcrspoons, (iibsonsnml Williauises. They erected substantial Sum nier residences and regularly the first of June they moved to the spring', remaining until frost, when they would return to their homes in the malarial districts. This was kept up until the war so impoverished our people that it was a difficult matter to live even at home. The place was unfrequented uulil three years ago, when Mr. Foreman, an en orgctic planter and large landed proprietor, | opened a hotel on a small scale lor the ac- j coinmodation of a limited number of guests. In 1S79 the number of guests lor the previous years was doubled, and this season the register shows over one hundred arrivals on some days Tho springs arc patronized by the elite of North Carolina?Congressmen, Senators and Judges?who. with their families, wish to speud tl?3 Summer quietly and to their physical advancement. The crowd is to a great extent very select, and yet extremely sociable. The different mineral waters are iron, magnesia, sulphur and arsenic, which last named, by the way, is 1 monopolized by the ladies, who imagine, no uuuut, > . ? mtj n.it o iuuiiu iiiu spring 01 j youth which I'onco uc Gconsought in vain. | They bathe in its waters .constantly, drink , it incessantly, and perhaps derive sotnc ben- . clit, but T would recommend Tetlon's pro- i parations as being more speedy and cfleet- | ive. The hotel is admirably arranged, and | the menu will compare with Cleveland, Greenbrier or any otlurforty-dolhramonth ' watering resort. The tab'e is abundantly supplied with spring chickens, varieties of poultry, eggs, mountain lamb, vegetables, | magnificent beef?a lordly sirloin of beef, which would tempt the royal appetite of; Queen Vi.toria?butter, tnilk and honey in ! profusion ; in short, a second promised land I minus the l'hilistines, &c., excellent cook- i cry, polite waiters, and all this, for only five ' dollars a week. Think of this, yc misgui ded who patronize overcrowded resorts and 1 pay over double for inferior lodging and board. Only think of it, five dollars aj week ! but in this country chickens are ten , cents a piece, beef three cents a pound, and 1 eggs?why liens lay a dozen a day. There is a ten-pin alley for guests, and next season the list of amusements will be made com- | plete with billiard and pool tables. An- . other point iu favor of these springs is the I absence of liijuor, the nearest rum-mill being > two miles, where they dispense mountain J dew to their customers. I strongly recommend these springs to all pleasure seekers, but more especially to j those who wisely refrain from paying the j exorbitant price charged at other resorts, j The hotel is to be enlarged to accommodate j ** tlir<?A Imnrli'nrl 'l^- * ^ r fiuvioic. i iic nearest post- I office is For J, Stanly County.

The older of the two took a few turns of the somewhat confined space between the binnacle uud a partly-usc l chew of tobacco which the second mate had left on the port rail, and then weut below to consult iiia charts. The situation was indeed a critical one for the beautiful vessel which rested like a swan on the heaving surface of the Miami Canal. For three hours she had been becalmed by a balky tnulc. Freighted with a cargo of golden hucd pumpkins, it was important that there should bo no delay iu reaeliiug the port to which they were consigned ; hence the shipper's anxiety was but natural. The black clouds that were scurrying across the southern sky 'old too plainly that a storm was approachiuir. and woo to tlie vessel it found unprepared. The captain know that in the proscut situation of his stately ship a wreek was iucvitahlc should the storm strike her. It was an anxious moment, hut his cheek never blauehed. It couldn't unless washed, and of this none who kuew our hero had any fear, Olaneing hastily at the compass, he saw that the vessel's proper course was cast by youth and that the lead mule was at 1 ast two points away and 011 his beam cuds. The storm was rapidly approachiug, and the ominous muttering of Heaven's artillery was evidence enough that ere long the now placid surface of the canal would ho lashed into white capped billows, any one of which would engulf trie Man/ Ann. To think was to act with the captain. Hastily seizing a glittering fog-horn from its place in the ratlines, ho placed it quickly to his mouth and shouted : "Tic up the cook." It was a wise move. The cook was liable to have hysterics when anything went wrong, and frequently tipped over the supper. "The ('ap'n's all right," said Coshocton Joe to the ship's carpenter, a tall, athletic fellow from Berca. whose brawny arm had often directed the fatal hsh-line in pickerel season. "Aye. aye, messmate," was the response > "and though I'm sore afeard we'll ne'er see wife and children again or steal grapes in the Sandusky Valley, it's not I that will shrink back or step ashore at a time like this." "Well said, my hearty," came in a gruff voice from the ship's ^waist. "Our biuuaclc lights inly go out this uight forever, hut let us die like Ohioans." By this time the first puffs of the approaching tempest were plainly to be felt, and the shrill notes of the boss hcus on the ncigiiDoriug laruis showed that even they had scouted the danger aud wore seeking shelter. it was a terrible moment. The mule was apparently the only animate thing that did not comprehend the danger. lie lay obliquely across the towpath occasionally whisking a fly from his car with or.e of his hiud feet, but gave no othor evidence of life. I'll less he could bo gotten on bis feet the ship would be lost. What could be done ? While all were standing in speechless amaze at the phenomenal cusaedness of the beast, a slouch hat was s?m>ii to emerge from the forecastle, quickly followed by a small boy. One glance at the angry sky and another at the mule was enough. Quickly leaping upon the slop bucket, he sprang lightly from the larboard rail to the towpath. and advanced toward the apparently sleeping mule. The crew looked ?n with amazement With stealthy tread he crept alongside of the animal, and with one bound alighted on his hack Like a flash lie grabbed its tail and gave that member a violent twist, in an instant the mule was ou his feet and kick- j ing in seventeen directions at once. Jlut he was left. The boy was on his back holding the lines with a grasp of iron. With a terrible yaw-haw of rage the now thoroughly infuriated animal dashed madly forward, 't he strain ou tho eublo wuh immense, and the trood shin's timbers croaned as it in ;i" ony. In a moment, however, she felt I ho breeze created by the mule going ahead, and her cut-water cut the blue waters like a knife as she keeled to starboatd and stood j away on her course. The hoy on the mule had saved her, and when the captain saw him twist the animal s tail he said loud enough for all to hear : "That was the act of a statesman and a diplomat." Who was the hoy ? James A. Garfield. _ ? RESTORING WORN-OUT FIELDS Several Eastern Agricultural papers have recently attempted to solve the problem of how to restore fertility to lands that no longer produce payiug crops. Ouo advises the application of one hundred loads of barn- | yard manure to an aerc, or its equivalent of j commercial fertilizers Auotlicr recommend raising large crops ot* rye, buckwheat audi clover, and turning them under with the I plough. A third suggests tile drainage, and the application of quick lime. A fourth thinks the first way to bring up the productiveness of exhausted farms is tostock them with cattle and sheep, and to purchase a large portion of the food they will consume till such time as the laud becomes sufticicut- i ly rich to produce good crops of grain. Advice like llic above is very good in its way, and is easily given. Every person knows that poor land may be rendered productive by applying fertilizers to it, and that most of it may be greatly improved by tile-drainage. It in very ditheult. however, . for persons who have exhausted lands to render them fertile by any of the methods j above pointed out. Farmers who have lands from which the elements of fertility have ' been exhausted nro ordinarily poor in pock- j ci. many oi mom have boon paying t">r land, erecting buildings aud luuoes on it, j out of the proceeds of the crops they pro- ! duced Souie huve boon paying oft" a mortgage, supporting invalid relatives. or educut- j ingehildiou A few have had ordinary I cxp uses to meet, but have had their j crops destroyed by drought, or floods, or ; ill Sects. Iti either event they are poor. They are j without the means to purchase stable man- t ore :tniin"11 or mineral fertilizers, to buy and j put Iowa draiu tiles, or to obtaiu u eousid + * V , A 4thw 'i PI iff i E fyMo. numlrt^p^ntrle <Jnu^ni?j^aivl the KH whriii eir Hffpjxrft during sevcrjd years. I | In fact, they find it d?Ilie.ult toobiajp a lbr? ing fo? theniselvesand" .families. The p?perty of their fields.ia Uuo to their lack of mouths, rather than to a want of knowledgi. They have' n^d u;> tire only capital thojr possessed?the fertility of their land. Tbc^ cannot obtain the prescriptions and follow the advice of the land doctors they consult. Tboy are io the co'tiditioti of sick paupers ! who are advised to travel in Europe a few I years, to pass their summers on the seashore, their winters in the West ludies, and to drink expensive wines. As the class of uicn who have iuipoverj ished farms arc generally impoverished I themselves, it is evident that they ^nust bring up tile-fertility of their land by means that demand but a small expenditure of money. If they can obtain sheep to keep ou shares, they will tiud it to their advantage to do so. but it is useless to advise theui to purchase them at he present prices. It is also folly to toll thorn to raise large crops of plants on a cou-idcruble portion of their laud, ami to plough them under. Large crops of plants suitable for grceu-tuauuriug cannot be raised without manure, and they have not the fertilizers to apply. They I must use most of the manure made by the stock they are able to keep, on the laud where they are te raise the crops for the support of their families. The first object in life for any pcrsou is to gain a living, and this often requires the cxerliou of ail his energies. As it took several years to ruu dotvu a farm, so it will require several seasons to run it up. The process of restoration will necessarily be' very slow if an attempt he made to improve the eonditiou of all the laud in an impoverished larui every season. Most persons will ho better satisfied with the results if they commence with a comparatively small area of land, .and put that iu a process of restoration bcfoic they begin with another. Land becomes impoverished by taking from it more than is restored This practice must stopped. The first step toward restoring fertility to the soil of a given field generally consists iu turning under the grass crop at about the time it is usually cut for hay. The grass, together with the roots, will form a considerable amount of fertilizing material. If the crop of grass be ploughed under the last of Juuc or the first of duly, buckwheat should bo sown immediately, and harrowed in. If the scasou is favorable, the buckwheat will be ready to blossom by the middle of August, at which time it should bo turned under by cross ploughing the land. The laud may then he sown to winter rye, which should iu luru be ploughed under as soon as the stalks begin to head out the next summer. By following this course, three crops will be buried iu t >e soil within the short space of twelve mouths There will still be time to raise a crop of buckwheat, Hungarian grass, or sowed corn, which may be ! nlou'died under in the fall. Ifthework ho [ well dono there will be a good seed bed iu the spring on which to sow oats atnl red clover. Hut a small amount of oats should be sown, as the chief object of raising tlicui is to afford protection to he young clover plant. The o its should be harvested and threshed. If practical, the clover should be catcu dowu by the sheep the season after it is sown If no sheep are kept on the place, the clover may be harvested and fed to slock. It is most profitable to plough clover under the second year after it was sown. The stalks ! are then of their maximum size, and well | supplied with leaves and blossoms, while the roots arc long The growth of the clover may he -much increased by sowing land plus tor on it early in the spring at the late of ' one hundred pounds to each acre of land , The cost of the article is very small an 1 its | effects iu increasing the growth very remark I able. ! The method of dealing land above des-| , eribed calls for but a small outlay of money. ' ft requires but a short time to carry it out, | while it ensures very great benefits. Soil with which a large crop of clover has been incorporated is in good condition to produce | corn, wheat, or other small grains. If a farmer can spare a comparatively small amount of manure, he may greatly increase I the amount of the plover eron I hat is <1 >. i signed for uiauure. The growth of clover is greatly .stimulated by the application ol j hog duug and lime a.s well as by tlio use of | plaster. A farmer who has : prepared one piece of laud in tliis manner may raise crops on it while he has another lot under similar treatment, and in due time he may bring up the whole farm to a good state of fertiii- j <y - o "Penny wise, and pound foolish," solilo- ! quized the man in church, and he put the penny in the box and the pound iu nis 1 pocket. ? * ] ' A prudent man/'says a witty Frenchman."is likea piu.

The Democratic pnrty has again presented 10 : I lie country its platform of principles unit its candidates lor olhee. The record attests the good faith and honesty of both. The platform is a plain ami simple assertion of the principles of the Constitution as it is, and the officials of the government selected from and by the Democratic parly uic guided by it in the conduct of their officers. the duties of! each oilicor arc prescribed fy !a?v. v ritten law rvti 1 when they are ftillifnlly performed it is the lnw that rules and not the individual who happens to personate it.

Whatever may have been the originnl object and purposes of our great antagonist, tho itepublicati party, however honest and patriotio its platforms and candidates may once have been, it would seem that their organization was enptured ill tlie hour of tlieir triumph by faithless, selfseeking oOicit Is, whoso construction of the Constitution as to their powers would have made the misguided but patriotic old Federalists, ngainst whom Jefferson waged war nnd raised tho people in their might, stand aghast with horror. The old ship that was steered through the stormy sea of rebellion without the loss of a spar had barely reached smooth water when she was boardeu by these pirates and used to plunder nud destroy what she was built to protect. Its flag, which was borne with such enduring pluck through the bloody battles of a protracted war, was seized by treacherous hands and made the standard of an arbitiary power infinitely more dangerous to American institutions of liberty than the armed array of the world. Uudcr the shadow of its folds the old fortress of the Constitution was dismsntled and its armament moved to a "camp outside." Governmental organization was subordinated to pnrty or-* gauization. Constitutional power was supplanted by extra-constitutional force, nud the mandates of party were substituted for the law of the laud. Is it strange that this mode of conducting a constitutional government should render necessary the expedients of fraud and force? The employment of both is a prime necessity to it. It is an impossibility, without infamous betrayal of trust on the part of officials, sustnincd by the force of extra-constitutional organizations. The practical result of all this is a tie facto centralized government, the powers of which arc limited only by the discretion of its officials. Thnnks to the wisdom of the fathers of the Republic the exercise of this discretionary power is curbed by obstacles inherent in the matchless system itself which they ftamcd. The officials through whom the powers ot' government arc operated arc all, from the President to the humblest municipal ofliccr, sworn to support theComtitution and laws of the country, and the extent to which arbitrary rule is practicable, is in proportion to the faithlessness of these officials. Where all arc true to their Ousts, it is impossible.? Where nil are faithless, arbitrary government is fully equipped with the machinery necessary for its complete administration. When, in the recent past, our State government, under the control of the Republican party, was converted into an engine of oppression, degradation and ruin, we were experiencing the full operation of this centralized government. The sworn oflicials furnished by the Republican party, so far from interposing the natural obstacles of our governmental system to the administration of unlawful government, themselves destroyed the barriers of the law, and added their share of urbi trary power to the tide of tyranny that engulfed us all. This method of conducting government is the only one known to the Republicans of South Carolina. I>riven well nigh to despair, the free-born cit izens of the State resoved to unite their strength in a supreme effort for relief. They succeeded in restoring the power and authority of law in the State, and thereby placed her on a plane with the other Stales of the Union. Rut over them all still hang* the centralized government, a dark threat to liberty ami an effective obstruction to the quiet and peaceful rcigu of the law. | The people are again called on to say which I of these modes of conducting the government shall prevail. This question underlies nil ones Hons of mere policy under llic recognized principles of government for tlie United Stales, the State nn.1 lie country. It reaches to the principles on which the government in ihctu nil is to he conducted. It is the overwhelming question to he settled hy the impending contest, and the issue shoul 1 he fairly and squarely made in ev cry State and County campaign in the Union. If this view of the political situation is the ' true one, the disciplined and united energies of I the L>cmocracy, which will he exerted to establish on a secure hasis all that was regained hy i their heroic effort in lHTd, should receive the | support of the entire people. They will certain| ly be sustained hy all in South Carolina who ! have the intelligence to appreciate the value of tlie honor of the State and of the United States I to the liberty, peace and prosperity of the people. i John IJtt vtton.
