TRANSFERS OF'REAL ESTATE.
The following transfers of real estate have
been recorded in che office of the County Auditor
since our last report:
John H. Adams to W. M. Adams. Tract
of 302 acres in Bethel township. Consideration
$1200.
R. H. Glenn, Sheriff, to W. J. Jones. Tract
of 84 acres in Fort Mill township. Consideration
$840.
^ Alexander Glass to Zimri Carroll and A.
P. Campbell. Tract of 97 acres in King's
v Mountain township. Consideration $400.
S. E. White to S. E. Ormand and others.
Lot in Fort Mill. Consideration not given.
GRANITE.
The matter of procuring stone for the
Chariesion jetties will be a question to decide
at an early day, and we wish to put in the
claims of York county as being able to furnish
as fine a quality for the purpose as can
be found in the Union. The quarries, too,
are inexhaustible, the stone can be furnished
of any size or shape desirable, and it lies
convenient for shipment by railroad.
Besides the illimitable supply of fine granite
in this county, there is near town, on the
lands of Mr. F. Happerfield, a quarry of
blue stone or amalgaraite, which is susceptible
of as high a polish as the finest Italian
marble, and would be iu great quest by builders
and workers in stone, if the quarry were
extensively developed, and the stone regular
ly placed on the market.
FINE FRUIT.
Sheriff Glenn presented us last Saturday
with a cluster of peaches of the variety known
_ as "Early Rivers." These peaches grow somewhat
in the manner of a bunch of grapes, and
the bunch to which we allude, though on a
branch but eight inches in length, consisted
of ten fine, well ripened peaches, averaging
seven inches in circumference. The tree upon
which they grew, was ordered from the
nursery of J. Van Lindley, Greensboro, N. C.,
three years ago, last fall, and the present is
the second crop it has borne. Sheriff Glenn
has a fine crop of fruit this year. His trees
are thrifty and in a flourishing condition,
a sure reward for bestowing upon them prop
er attention. Besides a thorough tillage of
his orchard grounds, in the spring of every
year he applies a fertilizer of wood ashes to
the roots of the trees, the beneficial effect of
which is discernible in the abundance and
fine quality of the fruit with which they are
laden.

Refreshing showers of rain fell on Friday
^ and Sunday nights. The weather is quite
favorable to the growing crops, which are
generally represented to be in a flourishing

We have been shown a hen egg which has
a history. The hen which laid it was observed
by its owner for several days to be in
a mopish condition, often exhibiting signs of
extreme pain. Every known remedy for
chicken chelera was employed without avail,
and the hen was given up to die, until the
other day when she was seen coming from
a nest, cackling with delight. An examination
of the nest revealed an ordinary egg, but
inside the egg is a large brass piu, which
biddy had swallowed, aud was the evident
cause of her distress.
YORKVILLE STUDENTS.
Miss Annie K. Rawlinson graduated from
Culpeper Female Seminary, Virginia, at
the recent commencement, receiving a diploma
for her attainments in schools of English,
Natural Sciences and History, and a certificate
of distinction for her proficiency in instrumental
music, geometry, intermediate
r- French, senior algebra and senior arithmetic.
Miss Rawlinson will spend several weeks in
Virginia before returning to her home in this
place.
Mr. Joseph A. McLean, Jr., who, for the
naar twn vpars has been a student at Finlev !
l"~v J ^
High School, Lenoir, N. C., has returned >
home, the session having closed. Mr. Mc- j
Lean will enter Davidson College at the beginning
of next session.
Mr. John Stauyarne Wilson received his
diploma at Washington Lee University last!
week. He was honored with the distinction
of being chosen Orator of the Graham Lee
Society, for which occasion he chose as his .
theme, "Our Present the bequest and crown
of the Past." He discussed the progress of
civilization, instancirg the history of ancient;
and modern times to show the development of J
natural laws, in continued progress, material
and intellectual. He recognized America as
the culmination of this advance from the earliest
times, aud predicted a majestic future.
But as yet we are in our infancy ; as the tide .
of generations has been rolling on down the
tide of ages, the t:de of conquest has ever
been rolling with it onward and westward, j
ami it required not the mind of the enthusiast'
' to instinctively realize that the tide had at
I last reached its destination upon the shores
! of "Young America." He urged his associates
to fulfill their mission upon the elevated
plaDe which had been assigned them,
and to bequeath to posterity an evidence of
still further advance as a testimony of faithful
work on their part and in their age.
At the same University the degrees of
Bachelor of Philosophy and Bachelor of
Arts were conferred upon William Spencer
Currell. He will return to the University
next session.
Among the orators at Davidson College
Commencement last week, was Mr. J. A. Wilson,
of this county, member of the Eumeuean
Society. The subject of his oration was
"Liberal Education." He maintained the
position that the development of the mind by
the studies which are especially adapted to
that purpose should be the object of educational
institutions, rather than the accumulalation
of facts.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
LETTER FROM CHESTER.
Chester, S. C., July 1, 1878.
Recently I gave the prominent facts in the
trial of a case before a Trial Justice in which
the plaintiff claimed damages for injury done
by defendant in killing plaintiff's cattle. The
jury did not find for the plaintiff to the amount
of a single cent, for the reason that the
damage done the defendant by his cattle was
equivalent to the value of the cattle killed.
Another case has been tried, in which it was
alleged that the stock law had been violated.
Samuel McNeal prosecuted James Kirkpatrick
for neglect in allowing his cattle to get
out, and damage the crops of other persons.
According to a late statute, it is an indictable
offence for any person to wilfully neglect
to keep up his enclosure, whereby damage is
sustained by others. Though the prosecutor
had suffered damage, yet the testimony showed
the exercising of necessary care by the
defendant in keeping up his fence. It was a
rail fence, and every effort was made by the
defendant to enclose his stock. As no negligence
was proved, the decision of the Trial
Justice was in favor of the defendant. Cases
arising from violations of the stock law promise
to be quite frequent.
Chester is becoming a popular place for
picnics. A few days since a considerable
number of Charlottese were here in pursuit
of pleasure. If this consists in sight-seeing
and shooting, dancing and drinking, they certainly
found it. On last Tuesday morning
au excursion train, composed of picnickers
from Dallas, Gastonia, Yorkville and other
points along the line of the railroad arrived
here, and here remained during the day.
They made their headquarters at Brice's
grove, though they were engaged a portion of
their time insight-seeing, notwithstanding the
intense heat of the sun. In sedateuess and
soberness, they differed very materially from
the Charlotte crowd, who, for the most part,
had a liking for strong drink, and gratified
this propensity.
Major E. C. McLurj has declined the invitation
extended by the Executive Committee
of the Survivors' Association of Chester, to
deliver the address before the Association^
the 1st of August. His official duties will
prevent his absence from Dallas at that time.
He regrets his inability to be present, as nothing,
he says, would afford him more pleasure
than to grasp once again the hands of bis
comrades of the "glorious old Sixth."
Candidates for the Legislature and county
offices have already been announced by their
friends, or "many voters." These are only
forerunners of the host from whom the public
will be privileged to choose. Messrs. John J.
Hemphill, Osmond Barber and Dr. A. F.
Anderson "stAud" (to use an English expression)
for the Legislature, Mr. J. H. Buchanan
for Probate Judge, and Rev. J. E. White
for School Commissioner. Candidates for the
Legislature are requested to inform the public
whether or not they favor the reestablishment
and endowment of the State University,
aud the levy of a tax to retire annually a
certain amount of the bonds of Chester county
issued in favor of the Chester and Lenoir
Railroad. They will doubtless give their
views upon these points.

$4,000 of these notes that have been redeemed
since the inauguration of the Agurs administration.
At the present rate of redemption,
it will not be a great while before the shinplaster
indebtedness of our town will be numbered
with the things that were.
The closing exercises of the Chester Male
Academy, of which VV. H. Witherow, Esq., is
principal, were held last week. The examination,
which consumed Thursday and Friday,
passed off creditably to both teacher and
pupils. Mr. Witherow is an able and faithful
teacher, and will, no doubt, be the principal
of our Academy as long as he desires the position.
The closing exercises of the colored school,
of which Rev. Mr. Loorais is principal, were
held on Friday. The pupils are said to have
displayed commendable knowledge of the
various studies in which they were examined.
Professor Montoon, of the Biddle University
of Charlotte, delivered an interesting address.
The exercises having ended to the satisfaction
of all present, the festive board was spread,
and refreshments enjoyed to the still greater
satisfaction and pleasure of all participants.
Intensely hot weather has made its appearance
here. Up to within a few days Spring
has been lingering in the lap of Summer, but
has 6nally departed. Summer is now herein
all her glory.
Lieuteuaut Butler Alston, of Rock Hill,
has accepted an invitation to deliver the address
before the Survivors' Association, at this
place, on the 1st of August. He shared in
the hardships and dangers of the gallant veterans
of the "Old Sixth," and as he is endowed
with the necessary mental qualifications,
he is expected to favor his friends with
a fine address.
Judge T. J. Mackey has returned home,
after wiuning fresh honors in Charleston.
The ability and impartiality with which he
presided over the Court, and the immense
amount of business transacted during the
term, have won for him the highest commendations
from the bar and press of that city. I
His brilliant talents compel recognition.
The track-layers on the Cheraw and Ches- j
ter Railroad have reached about two milts [
below Rich Hill. President Hardin has or-1
dered another supply of iron. When it arrives
the track can be laid to Fishing Creek.
Lancaster will then be within eleven miles of
the terminus.
Rev. S. A. Trenholm, of the Presbyterian
Church, has beeu given a month for rest and
recreatiou.
Great preparations are being made for the
festival on Wednesday evening. Indications
favor a brilliant success. Qui.
THE LOW-COUNTRY PROBLEM SOLVED.
Some months ago we published the report
of the Committee on Coast Lands of the Agricultural
Society ofSouth Carolina, in which
was described a new method of cultivating
oats and wheat in the low-country. This j
method is the rule of experiments made by
Dr. St. Julien Ravenel with the vetch or cowpea
and the fertilizer known as ash-element. ,
There was every reason to believe that by I
this method, at moderate cost, paying crops
could be raised on the almost worthless light
and saudv lands in the low country. This
done, the great problem was solved. What
was theory is now practice. Promise has
ripened iuto performance. Upon the experimental
farms at the Atlantic and the Stono
Phosphate Works the most cheering results
have been obtained. At the Atlantic Works
the yield of oats, by I)r. Ravenel's mode of
culture, averages 44 hushels to the acre, and
from 21 to 30 bushels of wheat to the acre.
At the Stono works the yield of oats was 51
bushels to the acre. These crops were made
on common land, or old field. Taking the
average yield of oats at 45 bushels, worth 50
cents a bushel in market, the crop will produce
$22 50 to the acre. In wheat, at 25
bushels, selling at 81 25, the crop is worth
831 25 an acre. The land on which these
i crops are made is not worth more than 85 an
I acre, if so much; and by careful calculation
| the cost of cultivation, including harvesting
| and preparing for market, does not exceed
: 815 an acre.
| This is far more profitable than cotton,
where uplaud cotton can be grown, and wheat
and oats have the additional advantage that
they need little cultivation, while cotton isau
all-year crop. The Agricultural Society,
with Dr. Ravenel, have solved the low-country
problem, in demonstrating that, on common
laud, a net profit of from 87 to 816 an
acre can be made by the cultivation of crops
which need comparatively little working, and

Sumter not Behind.?One of our subscribers?a
practical and energetic planter,
as well as a successful horticulturist?after
readiug the paragraph copied by us last week,
iu regard to the growing of tea and cork in
Georgia, concluded that he would let the
public know that Sumter county is entitled to
as much distinction as our Georgia neighbors.
He, therefore, on last Saturday, brought
us some tea leaves and some pieces of cork,
grown on his place a few miles from town.
The tea was, of course, in its greeif state, but
that it is successfully grown here is the only
point that we are interested in at present;
that it can be perfectly cured in this country
has been fully demonstrated. The cork tree
has been growing on his place for a number
of years, and was raised from the seed, several
of the acorns having been sent to him
from Washington. The cork oak is a native
of Spain and Portugal. The bark, which is
thick and spongy, is the part used. The first
growth, which is coarse and seamed, is
stripped off, after which, in five or six years,
a new and fine bark is formed, from which
the best stoppers are made.? True Southron.
