From the Abbeville Medium. PEN PICTURES OF THE PRESS. -0 T. STOBO FARROW. Patilio Farrow was for many years a prominent lawyer at the Lanrens bar, and enjoyed a lucrative and extensive practice in that and adjoining counties, and appeared in many of the important cases which found their way into our State reports. After nineteen years of active service he retired from practice in 1837, and after that time lived a quiet and retired life until the day of his death, in 1849. He was a patriotic citizen, an honorable counsellor and a zealous, con? scientious Christian gentleman. His wife, whose maiden name was Jane Strother James, and Ave children sur? vived him at the time of his death, of one of whom we propose so say some? thing in this sketch. T. Stobo Farrow, the youngest save one of the children of these parents, was born at Lauren3 C. H., S. C, in 1832, and is now about forty-four years of age. He passed his childhood and youth at the home of his father, and behaved him? self as b?ys generally do. He was an energetic, persevering, intellectual lad, and so genial in his manners that he formed many friends in his early youth who have remembered him to this day. Young Farrow attended the common schools in his native village during his boyhood, and was always regarded a youth of great promise. He read a great deal, studied hard and maintained^ a high stand in his textbooks, which were his especial delight. After having com? pleted his academic course of study he entered South Carolina College at Colum? bia, then in its palmiest days, and there Sursued his desire for knowledge with etermined zeal. From the time of his matriculation until his graduation he was all that could be desired in a student ?diligent and obedient. After com? puting his college course Mr. Farrow settled in Spartanburg, and began the study of law in 1853, and soon after made his debut in journalistic life as the editor and proprietor of the Spartanburg Ex? press. This paper was under his control ^Tor several years, at the end of which time he disposed of it to Messrs. Douglass and Evins, and then resumed his legal studies. In 1857, Mr. Farrow was elected Com? missioner in Equity for Spartanburg county, to which office he was twice re elected, and which he held until January, 1869, when it was abolished under the reconstruction measures of the Legisla? ture of 1668. Although he was exempted from mili? tary service by virtue of his office, and although he had been taught to love the old flag by his father who stood by the Union during the stormy period of Nulli? fication, Mr. Farrow recognized the right of the States to secede, and when the ball was put in motion by South Carolina on December 20, I860, he went with his State and proved his faith by his works. He entered the Confederate service as a captain in the 13th Regiment South Carolina Volunteers, and stood by the cause until failing health forced him to return home. He rose successively from the rank of captain to that of Major and then Lt-Colonel of his regiment, and saw active service with Stonewall Jackson in his memorable Virginia campaigns. He was devoted to duty, and on more than one occasion behaved himself with dis? tinguished gallantry. He was ? a fine disciplinarian, and waa much beloved by the men in his command. As we have before remarked, extremely delicate health prevented him from being "in at the death," and it was after the Battle of Sharpsburg, we believe, that he resigned his commission and returned to his home. He "accepted the situation" on the cessa? tion of hostilities between the sections,, and renewed his allegiance to the United States Government. In 1868, Colonel Farrow took an active part in the re-organization of the Demo? cratic party in this State, and attended both the State and National Democratic Conventions as a delegate. He was con? vinced that the party should be kept to fether, and that an united effort should e made to rescue the State from the con? trol of the villainous crew into which it had fallen. He made a determined stand in favor of the Democratic nominees, and canvassed different sections of the State during the campaign in support of the ticket This movement failed. The honest, intelligent voters failed to poll their full strength, and the Democratic party sustained a stunning defeat from which it has never recovered. The shameful stupidity and activity of the people through their whole political . course since reconstruction has punished them with usury. Out of heart and despairing that the State would ever recover from the blow received by the election of Scott and his coadjutors in iniquity, Colonel Farrow removed to Atlanta, G ?orgia, where he settled down to the piactice of bis pro? fession, but his conscience hurt him. His first love regained its ascendancy and he returned to his old home in Spar? tanburg in 1873, since which time he has there resided, engaged in the practice of law and in newspaper work. On his return from Georgia, in 1873, Colonel Farrow resumed his connection with the press of the State as sole editor of the Carolina Spartan, the editorial chair of which he filled with ability until the early port of 1875. when, together with Messrs. Daniel and Browne, he pur? chased the types, presses and good will of the Orphan's Friend and began the publication of the Spartanburg Herald, with which he is still connected as editor and part proprietor. He is a close ob? server of men and movements, a clear thinker and ready, brilliant, logical writer. He denounces corruption wher? ever found, and is willing to give his cordial, undivided support to any man or set of men who are disposed to act honestly and uprightly. He has a per? fect abhorrence for dishonest politicians, and in the course of his journalistic career has more than once thrown hot shot into the radical camp at Columbia, which made the wretches squirm. Colonel Farrow is an able lawyer, and enjoys a good practice. He keeps well up with all the changes in the adminis? tration of justice in this State. His ready eloquence always carries weight with it before a jury, and in the conduct of his cases he is generally successful. His long service as Commissioner in Equity mode him perfectly familiar with this branch of jurisprudence. Colonel Farrow has been twice married ?first to Miss Laura A. Henry, daughter of the late Major James Edward Henry, of Spartanburg, in 1854, who died in 1858, and second to Miss Jeannie Bedon, daughter of Colonel B. S. Bedon, of Walterboro', S. C, who still lives. He has three beautiful, sprightly children, and is one of the happiest men this side the Atlantic. He is graceful and polish? ed in manner, and an ornament to socie? ty ; in fact we do not know any one who has more of the virtues and less of the vices of humanity. He is a model man ?pleasant and attractive in conversation, firm in his notions of right and duty, a light in the social circle, progressive in his ideas?a gentleman from principle. When the idea of a State Press Asso? ciation was first advanced he at once fell in with it, urged its propriety and im? portance upon his brethen of the quill, and made one of the convention which met in Charleston in May, 1875. In this convention, which terminated in the organization of the State Press Associa? tion, he took an active and influential part. As a reward for the ability dis? played by him in the conduct of his paper, and as on evidence of the confi? dence and esteem reposed in him by the members of the Association, he was" elected second Vice-President, which high, position he now fills. By his invi? tation the Association will hold its next annual meet in e at Spartanburg in the coming May, w?en we hope to greet him face to face. Mark Twain on St. Patrick. the sort of reformer that is need? ed in the united states. The following letter was read at the supper of the Knights of St. Patrick in Hartford Conn., on Friday night: Richard McCloud, Esq.: Dear Sir?I am very sorry that I cannot be with the Knignts of St.Tatrick to-morrow evening. In the Centennial year we ought all to find a peculiar pleasure in doing honor to the memory of a man whose good name has endured through fourteen centuries. We ought to find pleasure in it for the reason that at this time we naturally have a fellow feeling for such a man. He 'wrought a great work in his day. He found Ireland a prosperous republic, and locked about hina to see if he might find some useful thing to turn his haud to. He observed that the President of that republic was in the habit of sheltering his great offi? cials from deserved punishment, so he lifted up his staff and smote him, and he died. He found that the Secretary of War had been so unbecomingly econom? ical as to have laid up $12,000 a year out of a salary of $8,000, and he killed him. He found that the Secretary of the Inte? rior always prayed over every separate and distinct Darrel of ?alt beef that was intended for the unconverted savage, and then kept that beef himself, so he killed him also. He found that the Secretary of the Navy knew more about handling suspicious claims than he did about hand- ? ling a ship, and he at once made an end of him. He found that a very foul pri- , vate secretary had been engineered ? through a sham trial, so he destroyed j him. He discovered that the Congress j which pretended to prodigeous virtue was very anxious to investigate an em bassador who had dishonored the country abroad, but was equally anxious to pre? vent the appointment of any spotless man in a similar post; that this Congress had no God but party, no system of mor? als but party-policy, no vision but a bat's vision and no reason or excuse for exist? ing anyhow. Therefore he massacred that Congress to the last man. When he had finished his great work he said in his figurative way, "Lo, I have destroyed all the reptiles in Ire? land." St. Patrick had no politics; his sym? pathies lay with the right?that was pol? itics enough. When he came across a reptile he iorgot to inquire whether he was a Democrat or a Republican, but simply exalted his staff and "let him have it." Honored by his name?I wish we had him here to trim us up for the Centennial. But that cannot be. His staff, which was the symbol of real, not sham reform, is idle. However, we still have with us the Bymbol of truth? George Washington's little hatchet?for I know they've buried it. Yours truly, S. L. CLEMENS. Hartford, March 16. Our Duty to Help Each Other. The following sensible article we take from the Savannah Free Press : In this day of the cry of hard times, more in fancy than reality, perhaps it be? comes each and every one to do bis duty in a practical and not a theoretical way. Money is made to spend; for we can neither eat or clothe ourselves with it. It is the representative of labor; or like manure, to do good, it must be scattered in the right place and at the right time. As we must live upon our labor, which is money, then it behooves us to put our money where it will do the most good, and that place is among ourselves; who live in the same place, bear the same burdens, are of the same society, and de? pendent upon each other for support. The money that is spent in a city goes from hand to hand, but that sent out, is a dead loss. To illustrate: Tour grocery bill is made at home, the grocery merchant gets the money; he buys his clothing at home; the clothing merchant buys his wants at home, and if each and every one would buy at home their wants, the money is kept in circulation at home. All receive the benefit, and hard times are not felt But if we send off for oar groceries, clothing, dry goods, boots and shoes, that we can buy or have made at home, it is. just so much money sent away; and times grow hard. Keep what we nave got and get all we can and spend it among ourselves, and there will be no necessity to cry hard times. The curse of the farmer is that he pays out all of his cotton money for what he should have raised. He spends nothing at home, for he buys from abroad. His corn, meat, mules, etc., are sent him from other States, and his cotton money goes there to pay for them. Booth took out of Savannah about $10,000, the cry of hard times to the con irary notwithstanding. Had we kept that amount among ourselves we would have been just that much better off.? However we will pay for luxuries with pleasure; yes, with a rush and think nothing of it, but find continual fault with the price of necessities. Help each other by buying from each other; give home folks the preference every time, and do not cultivate the idea you can do better, or get a better article from home. Society is a wheel, within a wheel, and all depend upon each other. Labor and trade is the foundation of society; and we should aid each other as a matter of interest, of policy and mutual benefit. A Few Facts in Raising Corn.? Corn can be raised successfully through? out forty degrees each side of the equa? tor, except on the summits of high mountains and some parts ef the torrid zone. A few simple facts about its production are worth rememboring. The land for corn should be ploughed deep, and the earth pulverized. Start the plant as soon as the ground will permit. Use none but the best seed. In its re? production the flower is separated into parts; the tassel, the male part, at the top of the stalk, and the silk, the female flower, located intermediately on the stalk, arranged thus in nature so that the pollen from the tassel might fall upon the silking flower and make it fruitful. On isolated stalks of corn the silk receives so little of the pollen from its own tassel that but few grains come to perfection ; hence the importance and necessity of having a number of stalks near by or in the same field, in order that perfect ears and a full crop may be made. Some far? mers still assert that there is nothing in these facts. The roots of corn grow much faster than the stalk at first measu? ring sometimes a foot long before the stem is half that length. The brace roots should not be brokem in working, as they support the stalk, and when broken it makes a heavy draught on the plant to reproduce them. The distinct varieties are the white flint, the y sllow flint, the fourd seed, sugar-corn and pop-corn, 'he first is regarded the best for bread, while the yellow corn is regarded most nutritive and answers best for stock.? Rural World. ? A woman called at a bookstore the other day, and said she would like to take a look at some "chromos," as she wanted to find something to please Har? vey, who had worked on the farm all summer, and should be rewarded.? "Anything religious ?" asked the clerk, as he ran over a lot of chromos and en? gravings. "Wa'al, no; not exactly reli? gious," she answered, "some of it might be Bolemn like; but down in a corner there ought to be a dog fight or a man falling off a barn, or something to kinder interest your mind."
