We hr.ve made arrangements to club tho
weakly edition of the Charleston Alaes and
Conner with our paper at such rates as are
unparalleled in tho history of South Caro
lina journalism. The agricultural depart
ment of the Newt and Courier will commend
that journal tc the farming community,
while its columns are supplied with the
latest intelligence from all parta of the
world. Wo aro enabled to combine tho two
papers at a price within reach of eveiy one,
and expect that our frienda will seize the
opportunity at once. For the smai. ium of
$3.25 we will send the INTBLLIOKNCEB and
the News and (burier (weekly) for one year,
payment to be made strictly in advance.

Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, in a lat? number of
the News and Courier, directs the attention
of the subordinate Granges to the proceed
ings of the recent aession of the State
Grange, and to the necessity for every sub
ordinate Grange to ally itself actively with
the order by making known the name of
its Master and Secretary, with their poat
office address, to the newly elected Secretary
of tho State Grange, Thoa. W. Holloway,
Pomarla, S. C. The Secretary has extra
copies of the proceedings, which cannot be
sent to a groat many Oranges, because the
recently elected Master and Secretary hoyo
not been reported to him. Although thc
proceedings of tho State Grange appeared in
the iHTiLXiaKNCEK, it Ia quite probable that
many of the officers would like to get an
extra copy, which can be secured on appli
cation to the Secretary. Besides, it is im
portant in other respects that the address of
every Master and Secretary be in possession
ot the State Grange.

No farmer can afford to be without a finit
class agricultural journal, and weare always
anxious to assist them in procuring the
varied and valuable information communi
cated through such a channel. In a long
experience in tho newspaper business, after
ordering hundreds of agricultural journals
for our farming friends, we have never mot
a subscriber yet who waa not pleased with
his investment. TL outlay is so small that
?ay one can afford it, and the benefit de
rived therefrom is measured by the diligence
with which Its pages are perused. Among
the standard monthlies, which has famish
ed practical and valuable information to the
farmers of the Sooth for many years, we
place the Southern Cultivator among the fore
most and worthiest. It is adapted to thc
wanta of this section, and especially devoted
to the improvement and elevation of South
ern agriculture. We are clubbing with this
mont nly again this year, and will be pleased
to send the INTELUOESCEB and thc Cultivator
to any one address for 83.60.
AH AP FEAL TO TH3 CHARITABLE.
The Newberry Herald states that some of
the pcoplo who were bumed out by the re
cent fire in that town arc in atraltened cir
eurostar.oes, and have been reduced to al
most absolute poverty. Mrs. Whaley, who
has several small children dopendent on her
for a support, lost nearly everything she
possessed, including home and store, and
there are several others badly in ned of aid.
The general distress of the community bas
caused an appeal to the friends of the desti
tute sufferers in other portlona of tho State,
and we cheerfully invite the attention of the
charitable to this appeal, Tho Young Men's
Christiir. Association has already raado
arrangements to secure donations in this
immediate community, and we venture to
ask (hat contributions ftom others, who
may not be waited upon by thc committee,
be sent to tho IirrnxLioKHCBa office. AU
donations mode through this office will be
acknowledged through these columns, and
forwarded to our contemporary cf the New

The stockholders ot the Anderson Educa
tion--1 Association met in the Court House I
on Saturday last, to consider the feasibility
of making a bid for tho permanent location
of tho Newberry College at thia place. A
proposition was raado to donate tho property
cow occupied by the CaroUna Collegiate \
Institute to the Lutheran Synod, and tho;
proposition was discussed for some timo by I
the stockholders. Several amendments were j
offered to the original motion, and after an
annimated discussion, it was finally agreed
. to postpone its further consideration until
Saturday next, when sn adjourned meeting
will take place. Tho President waa directed
to obtain all the information h? could in

THE FENCE LAW.
Our farmers are still agitating the fe
low, or more properly tho "atock law,"
which tlie atock ia to be fenced lnstea<
tho crops. The matter is discussed at Gre
meetings, and there is a general disposil
to make one more effort to secure this
for Anderson County. Many of the fara
who had been waiting for the passa gi
such a law, evidently allowed their fen?
to become dilapidated in the last few y<
and recently, have been obliged to undi
great expense to repair fences, In ord?
make a crop this year. They have har]
opportunity of judging as to the cos!
fencing, and are doubtless more than
convinced that it is an exorbitant tax u
their resources. Others who were opp
to the application of auch a law to Ande
County have become convinced that
beat interests of the farmers generally
mand that auch a great outlay for fen
every year Ought to be stopped, and th
is far cheaper and moro satisfactory to j
the steck. Wo have no doubt that a
j?rity almost equal to Hampton's maj
lost faU could be secured for a "stock
in this County. Oar attention has bec
rccted to this subject av tho present tim
