Its motherl affection for i s offspring had more Iha once attracted attention. It never descrte its calf, and anybody that tried to separa i them was met with such piteous appeal from the elder that r.obody but a hardene butcher could entry out a design again: tho younger. Hie cjw and calf drove alon very indifferently with tho other citt until a deep stream w?s reached. Thcr was no bridge, and tho current vas ver swift. When tho cattle plunged in the were swept off their feet into deep watei and a good niaoy of them disappeared for moment. When the cow came up her first tliougn was for her calf. She held her head u out of the wator and looke l about in ni directions. Hie did not at first see he call', because it had becu swept several rod donn stream and was struggling in tli water. The mother at length observe* this with dismay. Instead of making fo the opposite shove, as all the other animal had done. Hio plunged into the straan and swam down below lier calf.

A&r In he nomination for Attorney | General, on the State ticket, of course the Union delegation will support Mnj. Townsend. The County convention not only endoised him, but morally pledged the delegation to the State nominating convention to support him. Not only that, it will be but an act of strict justice to Mnj. Townsend to nominate iiim. Not only is he properly on i the line of promotiou, but his able and 1 faithful services as Assistant Attorney I General give hiin a claim above any othor j tuau for the higher position. i jff Can It Ba-Trus 1 To o?, it stems almost imprnbsb't that any merchant of sane mind or nny business F standing, would contemplate such a fool- ? hardy c/in-jo, tnuoh less rar.ke tbo heartless threat, tint "the Tanners went against tliem * >n the o'cction, and tboy, the merohant*. 1 who hold mortgages against the Tillmanitss, "would close them out, lot the consequences ' be wha' they may." ? Such a course is se utterly at variant* , ft with common aonao, common interest snd || the diet ties of humanity, that we don't > bcliove apy man, be he merchant or not, 1 in town or country, outside of the Lunatis 1 Asylum, coult have mado the throat, much less intend to put it in execu'ion. ' Understand us, we do not doubt that such a rumor is pissing among the Farmers, and r our correspondent has ground for speaking ii3 ho d'OS, and we cordially sympathise k wi'li him in all ho says about it. It was a heartless, unmanly rumor, whether true or false. If false, the person that s'artcd it dil a malicious, unprincipled wrong to the Farmers, by erorliog a fear 1 and unrest in the minds of those who are so unfortunate as to ba under mortgage; at the satno time maliciously misrepresenting the feelings of the merchants of the County towards the Favmors, thereby doing tlicra a'so a to ions injury.

In cither cse, true or filso, it is equally the duty of the Farmers and the Merchants to investigate tlio rumor and, if poss'blo, find its source Wo suggest that the merchants who are innocent, in each tiwn or settlement "in this and other counties," mnko and publish formal dcniils of having either entertained or threatened any such intention or foe'ing toward tho farmers. Aud will not our friend Ke'lon Wheel assist in ferretting out the merchants who made the threat, or tho fellow that started fhc aumor? While wo heartily agree with Kelton Wheel in all he says about the candidate that had whiskey at the polls on the 30th, we don't think lie is one-lialf ai bad as the man (candidate or net) who maliciously puts afloat n false rumor, soriously affecting the tfiuractrr irnd stand inc of &n individual or respectable clns3 of individuals, to obtain nuy personal or po,; ical advantage. Talk about whiskey demoralizing a people ! Why, the vemousucus tongue of tho slanderer creates move demoralization, more strife, more dissensions in faraibes and communities than whiskey does?bad as that is. If Kcltou Wheel will seriously consider the r/Tcct cf such a threat unon the individ ual an 1 general interests of tho people in town and country, we think he will come to the conclusion that he who mado it is either n fooj, a heartless wretch or a stirrer up of strife, nti'l deserves the condemnation of erery good citizen Wo would like to publish such a fel'ow to the world. It is but in keeping with the many false and unmanly reports set afloat during the campaign to prejudice tho minds of voters arn.irlb* iniliyiJuah.

Mr, Edit >r, I srid in my a'diole week before lost, for all of our bo?t men to come forward aud discuss the great issues which are being agitated, etc., and you say, if they did they would bo insulted and howled down, when have llio frrmers lrowied down any one? The white caps tried to howl down Governor Tillman at Spartanburg, but Ibey fai'ed, and how did the town of Unionf some few years ago, treat Uncle John Long, and other citizens of the State, because they tried to express their political views as fr ee Americans ? They were howled down, and 1 say that the Greenback Labor platform at that timo was more iu sympathy with the laboring people than cither the democrats or Republioan platforms is now, and if Ihore is any one doubts it let him compare then}. No, we want education, not abuse, and wo believe that is why our opponents are si bitter against Tillman. We followed hira instead of howling him down, as some hoped we would do. [Two wrongs never made a right, and we were as muoh opposed to howling dowu our iriend Long, as we were to howling down Shcppard, Tillman, Orr and Youmans.

And let me say that thisgrcnt reform movement has come to stay. It is no eld woman's dancu. What has the dollar and brains accomplished ? A great deal. Where is the cremation act wh<ch destroyed hundreds of millions of the people's money? And again, where is the dcmoniiixation act which limited the coinage of si'ver and made money higher and the products of labor cheaper ? Thnt's what we are fighting, class legislation, not merchants and lawyers, doctors, and other preftSMOonal inoti, nor even editors, so long as they publish facts on both sides.

N. 0. Litti.ejohn. A Chkkuikg Siax.?Mr. A. L. Crosby, it the September number of the Southern Cut tivator, snyt: One of the most cheering signs of the limes is the fact that this yeai the South will probably grow the biggod corn crop it ever grew. This means lest cotton, and cotton means better Drioes for Ihe smaller crop grown. There is nc use for sd Agricultural couutry to expeoi permanent prosperity so long os it buyf most of its meat, flour, corn and other food for man and beast, when it can grow them cheaply at home. The last crop of coltoo must hare been a severe lesson to many growrrs ; after.spending money, time, and labor, on the crop, to cultivate And harvesl >t and not be able to get back what it hat cost, is n discouraging state of affairs. But there is a good time coming when the South will produce all of its supplies, in the way of products of the soil And also many manufactures. Will this injure the prospects of tho North and West? Not a l-it; the time will soon come when tlie limit oi production in those sections will he readied and prices wll advance accordingly, and this is one more reason why the South should grow her own food, for if it is disastrous for her to buy at present very low prices what will it be tp buy at very high ones? No, the welfare of the whole ooun: try is best scoured when every section i? prosperous. On, What a Couoii.?Will you hood ths warning.
