Prindville was down in Freedomville r,
again one day last week, and returned e

same dipper. Here is a sample as Tom j(

there for a day or two who was a beauty. a
He wore a high hat that had been black
once, but had since bleached to a fawn
color. Around his neck was twisted a g
collar that had been intended as a turn fj
down, but he wore it with the ends turned j
up. His vest would have made an ele- 0
Sant side partner for a canvas horse feed j
ucket, but it admirably matched his 0
pants, which were brief but to the point, n
quite in contradistinction to his elongai- j,
ters, which seemed to have been ordered n
soon after some one had broken a corner r
in leather. The darky was a barber look- s
ing for a job, which he didn't find in Free- f(
domville, so he concluded to leave the s
place. The only time that a through train e
stops at Freedomville is when a citizen j,
flags by rolling a rock on the track, but ^
the tinted brother wasn't up to that G
wrinkle and sought for information from
my friend, the Frenchman. Frenchy told
him to pull a bell rope, as he called it, u
which hung near the station. When the 0
colored gent saw the train within 100 e
yards or so of the station he pulled the
rope as directed?it was the rope which
started the supply running down the big
funnel from the railroad water tank.
They had to roll the black stranger on a a
# barrel to get the water out of him." P

Tools for the Garden.?After a garen
is plowed, a hoe, manure and shovel
aay be all the tools that are absolutely re- {
uired for the cultivation of the garden; ,
ut there is no reason why there should
ot be a supply of implements that will '
ave time and labor. Seeds of all kinds ]

eason why a seed drill that saves time and ,
ery tiresome labor, should not be used to
lant such as can be so planted. There are .
variety of such implements. The garden
ike is an almost indispensable implelent
in the garden and may very often
e employed to better advantage than the ,
oe, in stirring the soil and uprooting .

Dolsof all kinds; so too should the gar- j

Four Points in Farm Practice.?Mr. \
1. Martin Smith, Delhi, N. Y., has had (
>rty years of successful husbandry, from ,
3port of which we glean the appended (
?ms of practice tested by time: "He ?
auls out the manure daily and spreads <
; on top of the snow in winter, which plan j
e thinks gives the best results. Places \
tress on the advantages of running pigs <
a orchards, producing strong, healthy ?
rowth of pigs, and at the same time bene- ,
tting the trees. Has frequently saved ^
ansiderable sums by the practice of keep- \
ag a cash account in connection with his (
iary, in the way of avoiding the repay- ^
aent of small accounts once paid, where i
redit had failed to be given. Condemns {
tie drawing off of small stones so closely ,
s is sometimes done. Believes that on (
is land there is an advantage in retaining <
eat and moisture in the soil. Would not <

eeding down, to follow after the plow (
nd throw them in the furrow and thus 1
jave them below the surface. Has prac- <
iced this some during the past few years, ]
nd is pleased with the result.
American Mutton Sheep.?Henry j
itewart, who is recognized as among our 1
irst authorities on sheep, says that our <
American mountain sheep have the kind i
f mutton, and when crossed by South
)owns their meat is quite as good as that 1
f the English sheep. A North Carolina 1
aountain half-bred South Down pasturing f
n the woods and fattened upon the chest- I
mts and acorns in the fall is equal in eve- (
y respect to the best English mutton (
heep, and no American shepherd need go t
urther for a desirable location or better 1
heep for mutton. But one cannot have 1
verything in one sheep, and when wool i
i wanted mutton must be sacrificed, and j
ice versa, for the best mutton does not j
arry the most profitable fleece. If we
>llow the English methods, pasture the
ocks upon rich meadows, feed in the fall
pon turnips, and finish with cotton-seed (
il meal, we may have mutton equal in ev- t
ry respect to that of England. t
Selecting Dairy Cows.?Here is a !
nggestion which may prove valuable to
airymen and others having occasion to t
urchase dairy cows, and who desire to t
get the best." The dairyman who buys j
big cow, giving a little mess of milk, for
ie sake of her heavy weight as a basis for 1
eef at the termination of her usefulness, (
5 like a manufacturer who buys a big ?
;eam engine for doing a little work for r
ie sake of having weight of old iron to r.
ill when the engine is done with. The
raste of food for keeping the excessive .?
weight of the big cow warm and the waste t
f keeping hot the needless iron in the (
ig engine, are very analogous, and there t
i a striking similarity between the old s
on in the worn-out engine and the beef
o nntir j
? at nunruuuwTT?
8ST The moment any kind of manure beins
to ferment, no matter where, it gives
ff some of its substance in the form of gas;
ut if the fermentation should occur wlthi
the soil it would be gradual, and the
roducts of decay could be utilized by the
eighboring plants. Besides, fresh manure,
i fermenting within the soil, will act
pon the soil advantageously in various
fays. It will not only play the part of a
jrraent, and so tend to decompose the
aert nitrogen compounds of the humus,
ut the products of its decomposition will
ct as disintegrating agents upon the inDluble
portions of the soil.
Horses and Health.?A consumptive
i reported as having cured himself by a
lan of his own. He established himself
t a farm house in the mountain regions
f Virginia, bought a horse and spent the
fhole day in the open air, taking care of
lie animal himself and riding about, at
rst only a few minutes at a time. Every
ay he grew stronger. He attributed his
ecovery to the fact that he not only rode,
ut groomed his horse and busied himself
n hour or two in the stable every day.
lis opinion supports that of an old time
octor who declared that "a horse barn is
neof the healthiest places in the world."
peache3 and gelatine.?A delicious
essert is made of canned peaches and geltine
in this way: Soak one-half cupful of
elatine with a cup of sugar and a dozen
alvesfrom a can of peaches for one hour,
hen pour on a cup of boiling water and
>ass all through a strainer. Be sure to stir
tall over the fire until all the gelatine is
issolved. Set it aside to cool, and when
eady to congeal have ready a cup or rich 1
ream; whipthecream until light, add a (
inch of soda, and stir it into the gelatine
uickly, one spoonful at a time. Turn *
nto a mold wet with cold water, and set in (
cold place to harden.
Salt for Grapes.?In a report to the !
Vestern New York Horticultural Society
n experienced fruit grower, of Tompkins *
ounty (Mr. P. B. Crandall) states that salt
pread around a grape-vine in a radius of
hree or four feet, sufficient to whiten the
round, has been a preventive of railew
for the past two years. The same vaieties
adjoining, not thus treated, were '
uined by mildew, while those salted were t
aved. The result of the experiment 1
hould be noted by grape-growers whose
ines are exposed to mildew. ,
The Use of Lime.?The free use of i
ime about the farm premises during this i
nonth is conducive to health. The white- t
cashing of outbuildings, and a sprinkling i
f slaked lime everywhere where a foul (
as may arise will doubtless avoid fever3 s
n many instances. The poultry house j
hould receive a heavy coat inside aud j 1
ut, and the trunks of fruit and shade ; 1
rees should be white-washed from the ]
round to the first set of limbs. Lime I
hus applied is an enemy to insects. ]

GOING FOR GIDEON.
Mr. Gideon Lee makes the following
idraission which, taken in connection
with his first estimate of Mr. Clemson's
?state, may, if we read between the lines,
reveal the real reason of his failure to see
Mr. Clemson for more than ten years. He
3ays:
"Personally, I have not seen or spoken
;o Mr. Clemson for more than ten years."
Taking up the paragraphs, we vTould renark:
Mr. Lee's neglect- of his old relative,
whom he supposed was poor, is not unnat
rral. Except for the met mat iur. v^iumson
left an estate we have no idea that Mr.
Lee's health would have ever sufficiently
ecovered to enable him to come to South
Carolina. In that event, we should have
lever heard of Mr. Lee. The prospect ol
nheriting a large estate, however, has a
endency to improve one's health, and we
ire ready to note the prompt effect in this
;ase.
Mr. Lee is eminently correct when he
ays that jurors and legislators in South
Carolina will never do anything to "de>rivea
motherless child of her lawful inleritance."
The juries and courts of this
Jtate are presumed to deal justly with all
jeople, and any reminder that the constant
is "the great grand-daughter of
me of the purest and most talented statesnen
that the State of South Carolina,
>r the whole American continent, has
iver produced," is offensive to the last
Jegree, and can be excused only on the
jround of the lunacy of the writer. We
lave been reminded of the greatness of
Calhoun until at the repetition of the
itory, "the whole head is sick, and the
vhole heart is faint." This thread-bare,
vorn-out talk of Calhoun is simply sickenng.
South Carolina does honor to her
iistinguished citizens, but we are not a
generation of toad-lets to sacrifice our own
sersonal self-respect in sycophantic homige
to any man?either dead or alive.
A.nd he who goes into court claiming
iither verdicts of juries or judgments in
jourts in his favor because he is remotely
:onnected with the distinguished dead,
iither has a poor appreciation of South
aIoa a Ia Viatt?i o rrnqrrl.

ian appointed for himself.
Mr. Gideon Lee seems to dote on his
laughter's relationship with even George
Washington himself, while reminding us
)f the worthlessness of Mr. Clemson's own
relatives.
Mr. Lee's conduct has placed his case
jntirely beyond the pale of sympathy?il
iny ever existed. The verdict of the jury,
the judgment of tjie court and the final
lisposition of the property will be purely
i question of fact?ana lawyers' fees.
In connection with this, however, we
would say that if the courts should sustain
:he will, and give the property to. the
State, we trust South Carolina will not
lake, or absorb that part which wa9
jriginally given to the daughter. She
)ught not to be robbed because her father
icts the part which he does. South Caroina
does not want to punish that young
ady because of her father's lack of comnon
courtesy and common respect for our
people, our courts and our laws.?Abbeville
Press and Banner.
THE SOUTH AND HER PRISONERS.
For fifteen years Dr. J. William Jones,
)f Atlanta, had charge of the records ol
;he Southern Historical Society. In reply
;o an inquiry as to what was the most imjortant
matter settled by those records,
le said:
"The humane treatment of prisoners by
he Confederate government. The Hisorical
Society records settle beyond dispute
the following points:
"1st. The federal government was chalenged
to show from the confederate rec>rds
in its possession a single order suggesting
or tolerating anything but the
nost humane treatment of prisoners,
rhis it failed to do.
"2d. We showed countless orders of the
strictest nature providing for the humane
reatment of prisoners above every other
consideration, and orders from our generils
that "all the field" should be treated
dike by our surgeons.
"3d. We proved that the South religously
adhered to the cartel, and that the
^orth repeatedly broke it. For instance,
t was agreed that the excess of prisoners
ibove the exchange should be paroled.
We kept this inviolate until Vicksburg,
when the North acquired the excess of
arisoners. It was then disregarded openy
and avowedly.
"4th. We proposed that the surgeons of
;ach side, with medicines and supplies,
should go into the prisons of the other side,
ind treat the prisoners. This the North
refused.
"5th. We then proposed to let their
surgeons come with medicines and treat
;heir prisoners, without them giving the
same privilege. They refused to send
them.
"Gth. We then proposed to buy quinine
ind other medicines, contraband of war,
saying for them in gold, cotton or tobacco,
ind pledging our honor to use them exilusively
and solely for federal prisoners
n our prisons. They refused to sell them.
"7th. In January we proposed to parole
15,000 prisoners then in Andersonville, il
;hey would send steamers to Savannah for
;hem, without demanding a like parole ol
pur prisoners from them. They did not
iccept this offer until six months later,
:hough we had notified them we were ut;erly
without proper food and medicine
'or them. It was during this six mfonths
>f shameful delay that the greatest morality
occurred at Andersonville.
"8th. We proved by the records of Secretary
Stanton and Surgeon Barnes that
;he confederate mortality in Northern
orisons was actually four per cent, greater
;han the federal mortality in Southern
prisons, although they had the world's
narkets and the world's medicines open
;o them, and we were beleaguered, poor,
md with every medicine and scalpel made
;ontraband of war.
"The above points, each and severally,
ire proved beyond dispute in the records
)f the Southern Historical Society."
We respectfully submit that if the South;rn
Historical Society had done no work
put this, it would have amply justified the
rouble and expense it cost. Every newspaper
in the South should lay these statenents
before its readers, so that young
ind old may know precisely what the
ecord is, and be prepared to defend it.
The Clemson Bequest.?The Columpia
correspondent of the Augusta Citroni
de, writing last Saturday, makes the /blowing
reference to the Clemson bequest:
In talking about the Clemson bequest
A^ith a prominent lawyer, he said to your
jorrespondent that it was very doubtful
f Mr. Clemson had created such a trust as
would stand in the courts. It appears
:hat there is no provision in the will by
.vhich the trustees can be /orced to carry
)utits purposes if they should fail to do
;o, and that without such a clause it was
arobably not a legal trust. This point
nay be made in the pending contest over
:he will. It is said that the C'alhouns of
New York and Atlanta, are very anxious
;o get possession of the property, and that
Mr. Lee has their sympathy in his efforts
;o break the will, although it is very likey
that these gentlemen, who are wealthy,
would prefer to acquire it by purchase
than by litigation.
The Ideal Newspaper.?Making ol
newspapers is a business, and why should
not newspaper men be allowed to manage
their occupation in a business way? They
cater to public tastes; they bid for public
patronage, and to do this they must furnish
what the public wants. If the public
Joes not want an ideal newspaper, so
much the worse for the public. The same
public that rejects the ideal boot and the
ideal bonnet has time and again spurned
the ideal paper from it and would have
none of it. Stock in an ideal newspaper
usually is worth all the way from fifteen
cents to $1 downward.? Yankee Blade.
