A Woed in Season.?The Fee Dee Index '
quotes m follows from tho Cheraw Reporter:
We wei-e pleased last week to see Captain
James O. Ladd, our former postmaster, in 1
town. Captain Ladd baa been keeping books
for a Chicago firm for the laat year or
ao. If Cberaw is to bare a change of post- master
during the coming administration,
we feel confident tl\at the people of Cberaw
wenld prefer Captain Ladd to any one else.
Thsreoa the Index snyt:
Wp notice tjiat not a word, save an aL 1
lusion to the possibility of ^'change,' in the
nMaranse ef the Reporter refers- to the effi- <
i???wadsut' gtutloman and good Democrat now
holding the office. Without onee consider- *
ing the possibility and perhaps the probability
of (be retention of efficient and non-partiaan
office holders In the South by llarriton,
the editor begins to sing the praises
of Captain J. O. Ladd,' who' for thirteen
years held office under the Republicans.
Many think it highly probable that Harrison
will attempt to break the eolid Democratic
South by retaining the efficient Democrats
in office, thus making these offices a
prize to be sought, irrespective of party.
If this is to be his pslicy, it is undoubtedly
bad policy for us to suggest or inauguralo
the removal of our own men. In the case
in question it doss not appear that Ladd has
even so much as asked for the plnce. fie
wants a larger and sweeter plum than that,
as shown by the filing of his nomination for
United States Marshal for this State. It
may be well to warn our Democratic frieucls
against signing any pennons lor ivepuuncaus
to succeed Democrats. There are jot no
vacancies, and there may be nunc, unlaas
our people givo excuso for them by petitions
praying for tho appointment of itepnblicans
ia place of Democrats already in office.
Our advice la to go alow until we know what
ia to be the policy of the coming adminiatraor
whether might is to rule right.
Whilst The 11eyieter d oes not think it worth
while for any Democrat to encourage the
hope of retaining office under Harrison, wo
yet heartily agree with the Index that it
wears on its face an unseemly assiduity for
Democrats to be bringing their advice to Ilia
now administration as to the filling of the
places now held by good Democratic officials.

Homo Maub IlnooMS.?There ia a auoeaaafnl

you. you are about te get yours into it, by
1 saying last week that the lawyers and farmers
and the State senate acted wisely -id
defeating the liennett bill, which had passed
the House. One of the members of the
House, not a hundred miles from Jonosville,
says he voted for the hill, and that he can't
see where the wisdom comes in, in defeat

The Snow Storm at the Seminary.
' The snow was a most welcome visitor t
1 the pupils of Clifford Seminary. l'hej
could not claim kinship with it, but the;
were allowed, nevertheless, to receivo i
with open arms. Te those young Ladiei
from the lower section of the State such I
enow was a great novelty; but they; wit!
the others, were not slow in finding out the
pleasures of snow balling, and for an hoot
or two the fleecy missiles wero Hying througl
, the air. sometimes hitting, but eftcnor missing
widely, the mark.
All seemed to enjoy the iport, excepting
one stalely figure that became very con
spieuous. .She stood quiet in the midst ol
all (lie excitement; no challenge from largi
or small was accepted, and no shout ef joj
could induce her te Inkc a hand in the fun
She remained in quiet dignity, her slian
folded closely erottnd her, and her hal
tirraly fixed en Iter head.
The irreverent smell hoy on (he outside of
the fence threw mow halls at her, but she
did not reply by word or hall. Stmt
thought she was very indiscreet to be out
in the snow in a white dress. K'derly gentlemen,
who have long since passed the age
of auch fnn as throwing snow, were glad ta
see one dignified young lady in the crowd
and lifted their hats in appreciation of rara
excellency. Voting men returning home
from town smiled aud bowed at her?the
lViucipal wan in the house, and as she did
not turn her head she certainly did not disapprove
of it. Hut evidently she enjoyed
the snow, for she was the lost one seen on
1 the campus, and the first one out next inornj
ing?in the same place, and with the same
' quiet dignity?and there slicia at the pres|
cnt writing, growing beautifully leas, but
still there, for the ."now woman has not yet

Newsy Notes from River Side.
6 HiviK Sins, Feb. 2t).?Since our last
writing, we are prond to be able to boast of
r at least one happy man on Hiver Side, that
i, of Mr. \Y. M. Palmer, who lias tho distinguished
henor of being the father of
twin boys. Mr. Palmer will not railroad
i it this year. He thinks it nscssaary to

The biggest saow that has fallen for ysars
visited this couaty on Thursday last. It
0 measured about 12 inchesdeop hers, and

ern hillsides are Kill lingering, and per*
1 bap* waiting for more. Sewing oais was
1 being pushed on very hard when the bad
1 wcatbeer set in, but is now at a stand still.
The farming classoe are determined te
lire more ecenoinical this year, if possible,
than ever. There it one item ef no small
importance, that every tiller ef the noil
ought to consider when he sets eut to use
economy; that is time, precious lime. We
' I have seen people who would split a trade
^ for anickle, but would not hesitate to loaf,
day after day, at the cress road store. That
r . is peor e^onoity, in our judgment.
We are reliably informod that the hot
1 suppor at New Hope CKurcli was a financial
t success ; the clear profits amounting to
seventy-five dollars. This amount goes
toward building a new house of worship at
! that place. The Taster in charge, Uev. D.
, P. lioyd, is the chairman of the building
committee, which is a guarantee of ite success.
We loek forward to good things en
this circuit for the year 18811. '
The work oa the llaptiet Church, l'hilippi,
will begin soon. Messrs. Fester & Tinsley,
i of Unian, are the contractors. The Ilapi
tists are a working people, and deserving ef
great sac-cess.
The Sunday Schools at Wesley Chapel and
Philippi, are alive and at work, in spite of
bad weather aad muddy roads.
We have net seen our Timks for last weak,
and in eonsequcnce, feol at a less how to
writs- We hope to feel more like writing
after the lapse of another week.

we have no lime to loose, as it lakes a
year aboat 13 months long to make and
market a crop of cotton. We are not eery
good in Arithmetic, but really it does seem
to ua, if we could run that through, according
to the ' ingle rule ef three" in eld
Pike o arithmetic, we would soon got about a
year behind but may-be not. If it ia eo,
eome ef the smart men we bare in the
country would hare found it out. Be
that as it may, we say wc are hound te
plant eottoa to pay onr Guano bills, and our
ration bills, or liens, whioh is about $200 I
to the one-horse farm and a good portion of
that is taken np now, or will be by tbe time
the ole woman gels a supply of calicoes,
Plaide, Muslin, Ilats, summer shoes, eto.
Besides, we like to dress as well as anybody
else, and a sice suit ef clothes don't cost but
about twenty dollars, and other things ia
proportion. Now, if we can just nake about
v>aU? nf cotton to the horse we will cone
out 'way yonder ?ittoai eioumcM,
with our calculations thus made, with such
prospects before us, with the strength ef our
auscle and the Tin of a mud-turtle, we sail
in, and we will "got there" too, but yet
tehere ? Now we expect some one will want
to quote soBMthing like this :
All fools will ne'er be dead,
We know tbo reason why;
Ths young ents they grew up
Before the old onee die,
We hope all the farmers are not as above
described, but instead, by close observation,
industry and economy, steer elcar of
the breakers.
There is a small farmer we have in eur
nsiud, about 00 or 6~> years old, who still
wears his Father's coat, wears a pair of
shoes made about '20 years ngo, h*s bought
ooly '2 saddles in bia life and liaan iiamper
basket that helped gather 30 craps of cotteu
and corn.
Tell Vox, in answer to his question in
your issue of the 2'Jnd, we refer hint to
John IS: 3b:?"Pilate sailh unto llim, what
is truth?"
We are in favor of Vox's idea in regard
to an inquiry column in the Times.
What person in the scriptures ia represented
as "a cake unturned."
Hoping you may make better collections
for the next month than you have in the
past two, we will not make our letter longer.

Feb. 2l.?A djspa.toh has gene out from
Atlanta misrepreaenting the people of Nerth
Carolina. Il says thie State is on |ho verge
of a terrible race war, growing out of the
negro exodus. There is absolutely no foundation
for it. There ie a slight exodus of
negroes to Kansas and Mississippi, but it is
producing no excitement whatever. There
was sotne apprehension at (Joldsbore a week
age. because of a call for a monster meeting
of negroes, couched ia tunas regardeu as
dangerous by some, aad the Governor ordered
the (teldsbero aad Raleigh military
companies to hold th?m|elyes in readiness
for aeliea iu case trouble should occur.
Rut the apprehensieu was ever in a few !
hours. The meeting was as quiet as any
ever held in the Stale, and there has been
nothing in the nature of apprehension
since.
