8omo very fine yields of wheat have been

Thc addfcssV delivered by Rev. W. H.
ytr?ckland, bt-?j?-i thc Al?rathi Association
of Forman University on last Thursday
night In Greenyillo, is said to have been a
very fine production, abounding with valu
able, practical suggestions and hits upon
the wUbjcct of "Work." From the amount
of professional labor performed by Mr.
Strickland, we imagino he knew what he
was talking about.
We had thc pleasure of a call on last Sat
urday from Mr. T. D. Kennedy, late editor
of tho Blackville New?. Mr, Kennedy Is at.
present visiting his father at this place, PiiJ
purposes remaining in Anderson some
weeks. He Is evidently enjoying excellent
beal tb, und therefore has no cause for com
plaint against the low country, though he
slightly prefers tho mountainous belt of our
Slate during thc summer months.
A runaway scrape was caused by the care
lessness of drivers nt tho Baptist Church on
last Thursday. Tho frightened horse dashed
off at fearful sliced carrying a draw with
him and passing down a street crowded
with persons, and passed on without {lam
age until tho vehicle struck Mr. Murphy's
dray, and tho horse loosed in the smash
up. The dray was ?onsidcrably damaged,
but the horse, escaped without injury. This
.should serve as a warning to drivers where
there ure numerous vehicles, to bc more
cautious in running into ur against one an
other. There b no excuse for such reckless
ness.
Capt. A. A. Dickson, au aged und respec
table citizen of Anderson County, departed
this lifo after a brief illness on last Friday.
Capt. Dickson was about seventy years old,

the usual vigor for men of his years. He
was ono of thc old teachers of the County,

noted , for tho precision and thoroughness
with which ho trained tho youthful mind.

The amount of tra rel over the South Carl*
olina Rail rocas Li considerable huger tfei?
summer than it hos been heretofore, and wtj
aro gratified to observo a growing tendency^
on thc part of our people to spend their?
summer vacations hi traveling through thef
mountainous regions of South Carolina, in-l
Ktead of frequenting tho Northern watering
places and summer .?aorta. This ls decided -
ly an indication of good score In the people
of South Carolina, for, by pursuing such a
course a large amount of mon^y will bc spent
In developing our own beautiful sensory :
which has no superior, instead of draining
the resources of our impoverished people to
keep up Northern resorts which are of no
conceivable advantage to us.

fesWEB TO "VABEHREB."
M Horror. : Both sides of any question
must ?seen before nny man can make a
wiso ni just decision, and as "V?rennos''
bas pelted his idea of the effect of thc
stock j, I propose to give him minc,
which jiot theory, but practice, i Jr eight
years t. Since that time I have kept
upon ujittlc farm goncrally two COWJ and
calves, o hogs, some times three, and two
good mis. During this time with ordi
nary sc| stock, I haye been able to supply
at u?l ic.s a family of six with milk and
butter ?Imndancc, and at ail times plenty
to sell alremunerative price; and in these
eight yoi experience not one single time
have I ef lost a milking by cows not being
at home, night, and very little lime lust
by eithj'inyself or hired men in getting
the cowfi their stalls ready for thc milk
pail. A?n,ray cowtt have never trespassed
upon ann.m'H land, and should they by
accident^ through the fence, my crop was
thc first puffer, and boneo a good fence.
The stoi.Uw hos enabled mc at all times to
make a (Mcicncy of pork to supply n y
family, tlemallcst hog killed weighing 340
pounds, s largest 510 pounds ; these each
vcr.? bcimnrckssed wherever I could buy
them. Tssccrct of this ls all attributable
to fencingoy stock, where they could re
ceive reg<r attention at ali times. It is
the natura both cows and hogs to rour.,
and thougthey may bc turned into a clover
field contajr.g fifty or more acres they will
sec all sidcof it each day. The result of
such a cou! is, that tba food that should
be applied ; thc making of butter and milk

Much mora this thc situntion of co?-s all

keep our coity fence in good repair, and I
am almost ?dy to say build it, too.
"Vnrcnne, says that it will oppress tho
poor, some i'?beni have no water on their
farms, otherih-ivc to go a milo twice each
day to teed, ld last, lt will cause them to
maul rails, in instance of oppression is
before me. : neighbor (and by the by a
"V?rennos")tho rents a small farm of ono
hundred nnd(fty acres, wbi' ii is enclosed,
and upon wbh this season he says he has
split, hamed ad put up 2,500 rails for Ibo
uso of twent^ncrcs of land. Can it be de
nied that tins oppression, to make a poor
man do that a ou nt of work, free of cost to
thc owner? c^ecially so whon I tell you
that his stoekbnsists of one cow and calf,
one mul? anj three or four shoats, and
nothing to fee; on in June. This law pro

him, first, of fitting this enormous pile ol
raib?, and scccdly, by allowing him to cul
tivate this twtity acres, scattered herc and
there, with p'.feet. safety, knowing that not
only his but e?rybodys stock Li fenced in,
and there is tr danger.
Next, how liny farmers are there in this
county who lire not water on their farms ?
About two huiircd, I suppose, in all. There
is only one in us neighborhood, as far as 1
am informctl, oil I have endeavored to in
form myself, ho question la, then, should
this small harjful of men prevent five
thousand men tom enjoying so good a law 1

This fence, instad of new, as "Varonncs'

On Thursday morning a', ll o'clock wc
round ourselves in thc Chapel agata, await
ing tho address or Hon. Samuel Dibble, of
Drangoburg, 8. C., before tho Erosophlc
Society. Prior io introducing thc orator,
President lander announced that the young
ladies would fuvor thc audience with'the
following

Mr. Dibble was then introduced to the

land of flowers In making his opening re
marks, stated as his subject, "Queen Vasbti,"
and portrayed the miseries to which she
was subjected as attributable to her drunken

nounced.
At Sj o'clock on Thursday evening, the
Society of Alumine was address by thc'Rev.
Prof. Duncan", of Wofford College. Subject
-"Education." To have an idea of the
worth or his - address, one would have to
have heard thc wholo of it. There was
nothing superfluous, nor was Ibero anything
that could be criticised in it. It would do
Prof. Duncan an injury to try to give an
analysis. With this closed the exercises,
and every one seemed to reel fully repaid for
having attended. One will observe on look
ing over the programme, that there was no
effort at display, but the whole of thc exer
cises servo as a mirror which reflects thc
worth and merit of tho institution, and thc
taste and ability of thc facitity under whose
management thc College is condoi ted. Of
thc seven graduates our little town boasts or
two or the fairest.
The young ladles, by a unanimous vote,
gavo Mr. W. W. Brown tho honor of acting
Chicr Marshal, and Messrs. Mid. Prince and
and Frank Darby Assistant Marshal. Our
little town hus resumed it? hitherto qu'et
monotony, only "a little n?ore so" since thc
