A. will hold a meeting in the Court House this evening, opening at 6$ and closing at 7J, for special prayer for young men. The public generally and the young men especially are invited to attend. Judging by the number of blank liens being ordered by our merchants, we would certainly conclude that they expect to do a big business this year in the way of fur? nishing supplies to the farmers. One firm alone has ordered five hundred. The beautiful spell of spring-like weather we have been having for the past two weeks has never been surpassed in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The whole winter has been most remarkably mild, and only once or twice has it been cold enough for ice. Mr. R. L. Moorhead has returned to An? derson and entered into copartnership with Messrs. J. Pink. Reed and H. O. Herrick for the conduct of a general mercantile business. His many friends welcome him back into our midst, and hope that his lo? cation this time will be permanent. Mr. John W. Duncan died at his resi? dence in this County on last Thursday .morning, after a lingering illness from con? sumption. He was in his 30th year at the j. time of hid death, and leaves ? wife and three children who, together with his neigh? bors and many friends, mourn his untimely death. We regret to hear that Mr. John B. Adger, Jr., met with a very severe injury by the running away of his horses in Pendleton on Tuesday. He was thrown from his buggy and had both legs broken. His accident is a very pain fa! and dangerous one, but we trust he will recover as rapidly and com? pletely as possible. Mr. M. B. McGee, of Hodges, one of the most prosperous farmers as well as a prom? inent citizen of Abbeville County, came to Anderson this week with a load of cotton, and was so well pleased with our market that he proposes to come again. He said that he was well paid for his trip; and so would aU of his neighbors be if they could only be induced to follow his example. After the expiration of present contracts, we will not insert advertisements in the local reading matter at any price. Special notices will be inserted in a special notice column for fifteen cents per line for first in? sertion and ten cents per line for each sub? sequent insertion, but under no conditions will we in future destroy the interest of our local columns by filling them with adver? tisements. The Anderson Lodge of colored Good Templars have purchased a lot on McDuffie street near the Greeley Institute, on which they propose erecting a hall in a few weeks. They paid $37.50 cash for the lot, and still have considerably over a hundred dollars in the treasury. They have a membership of between two and three hundred, with almost weekly additions. The Lodge is doing a good work. The .Ordinance of the Town Council mak? ing the annual tax and license levy is pub? lished in another column. The tax on all real and personal property is fifteen cents on cvc..? hundred dollars' worth, which is exceedingly low. The Council has man? aged the affairs of the town very economi? cally, and if they continue to exercise the prudence and good judgment in the future that has characterized their administration of affairs in the past, there is no telling how long they will be called upon to serve the town. Monday last was as busy a day as we ever saw In Anderson. Every section of the County was represented, and the public square ws thronged with men, horses and vehicles from early morning until late in the afternoon. The horse swappers were on hand in fall numbers, and were as ac? tive and diligent in the prosocution of their business as we ever saw them. The Sheriff sold several tracts of land, and some per? sonal property, at good prices, and alto? gether the day passed off as quietly and orderly as could have been expected. There was a good deal of drinking, but not as much as we have seen on previous Sale days with much smaller crowds. The lecture of Col. E. M. Rucker on Tuesday night last was highly enjoyed by all present. The weather was inclement, and on that account the audience was not so large as usual, yet it was quite good un? der the circumstances, and the subject, "The TJuses and Abuses of Discussion," was so ably handled that those of us who are fond of argument and controversy were comfor? ted in the thought that we are doing good in that way by causing more thoughtful ness and activity of mind. We understand that Rev. Thos. F. Gadsden will lecture two weeks hence on the "Influence of Woman." These lectures will be contin? ued all winter and spring, and we hope much intellectual pabulum may in this way be served out to the public. Transfers of Real Estate.

The Farmers' Meeting. . Public attention is called to the next Farmers' Meeting, to be held on the 3rd Friday instant, and a general attendance Is required, as business of importance will claim attention. Our Senat*? and Repre? sentatives are requested to participate in the deliberations, and give some account of legislative doings. _T. H. Russell, President. Under the Supervision of the Executive Committee of Pomona Grange. Pendleton Grange, Anderson County, Dec 22,1879. To the W. M. and Members of Pendleton Grange: The undersigned, a committee, appointed agreeably to a resolution instructing them to visit the farms of the members, and, by direct inquiry, ascertain the number of acres in the different farms, the yield of the several crops planted, their relative valne and profitableness, tee,, &c, submit the fol? lowing report: In explanation, we will state that in ar? riving at the facts, hereinafter set forth, we, in every case, averaged the individual re? sults for a period of five years, and then from these individual averages struck a general average. We visited some fifteen farms. The average number of acres, in farms visited, we find to be 480. Of this number 130 acres are in cultivation, leaving 350 acres, average, on each farm untilled, unre numerative and dead, so far as profit is con? cerned. What Bank with two-thirds of its capital locked up in its vaults and unused, would ever declare a dividend? The in? terest on the value- of our untilled lands every ten or twelve years consume them, while if they were planted and cultivated, even as that portion now cultivated, would yield to the owner $2,240 to the farm. And as we are living upon what we now make, this would be clear profit. Of course, this amount (calculated upon the whole amount of untilled lands) would have to be lessened, for we must always preserve wood and tim? ber and pasturage; but how little of our untilled lands are used for these purposes. We cannot cry hard times when we are guilty of such gross misruanagement. It is true that our position since the war has placed it beyond our farmers, in a measure, to do qs wc would like, but it seems to us that hereafter it should be our first care to adopt some plan to overcome this, the most serious, obstacle in the path to prosperity. We find that there is no general rule in renting land; some pay to the landowner one-third of all the crops, and some one third of some and one-fourth of others of the crops. All are united in the opinion that it is more profitable to hire hands for wages and manage their own lands than to rent them. Wages average from $5 to $9 per month and rations, according to the hand. It is conceded, except in one instance, that red wheat is more reliable than white wheat?it is hardier and more capable of resisting the vicissitudes of climate, etc. Is sown generally after, and never before, the first killing frost. The average yield and profits are given at end of this report with the other crops. Of oats, quite a diversity of opinion pre? vails as to kind, time of sowing, and to profitableness, which argues the want of a better acquaintance with this important crop. As a general rule the preparation of the land for corn is put off until Spring, except stubble land, which is either broken up or turned in Fall or early Winter. But, with one exception, all prefer gray land for cotton ; two make no difference as to aspect4 whilst others lay great stress upon a Southern exposure. The width of rows range from three to five feet, three and one half, however, is the average width. It is worthy of note that not two of the farmers visited agree as4o the number of pounds in a bushel of cotton seed. Our Legislature, we think, should settle this question by en? actment. As was to be expected, there is a great diversity of opinion as to fertilizers?some prefer one kind and some another. All are agreed that the quality of the fertilizers has deteriorated from what it once was, and many of the. best farmers say, after carefully calculating results, that they are endeavor? ing to adopt some substitute for the fertil? izers altogether, as the profits (average) arising from the investment are so small as not to warrant the risks. One of the closest calculators says that 75 pounds put in with the seed at the time of planting are equal to 150 pounds put in the bottom furrow and bedded upon. From all we could learn we are not prepared to endorse this conclusion, but the saving of one-half of the cost of manuring of a crop is certainly worth ex? perimenting upon. It is getting to be quite common to use the acid phosphate alone as a manure for cotton, and some contend that it is equally as good or better in results than the highest-priced fertilizers. Barley, rice, sorghum, tobacco and hay are raised profitably, but only by some, while aU plant potatoes and turnips for home consumption. Among the fruits, the Bordeaux, Heath and Wilson peaches are highly extolled, but we failed to elicit any information as to apples, cherries, pears and grapes. Five neighbors sent off in one year $47.50 for fruit trees, which, in all probability, came to them at a time of year when they could not afford to stop and properly attend to them. We would insist that the large amount sent annually out of the County for fruit trees and vines is unnecessary and, we almost say, unwise. Magnified samples exhibited by bottle men are never realized, and it only requires a little experience to cause us to renounce as well as denounce them. A few hours spent with a budding knife would supply each one, at no cost, with known, acclimated, superior varieties. At least $500 has been expended by the members of fhis derange in the last five years for fruit trees, all of which could have been saved. The following are the results alluded to above: Largest average crops per acre? wheat, 194 bushels; oats, 37 bushels; corn on bottoms, 60 bushels; corn on upland, 39 bushels; cotton, 1,700 pounds. Average crop for five years?wheat, 95 bushels; oats, 19 bushels; corn on bottoms, 27 bushels ; corn on upland, 14 bushels; cotton, 807 pounds. Average profits?wheat, 85.20; oats, $6.80; corn on bottoms, $18.00; corn on upland, $7.07; cotton, $12.25. Taking the United States Agricultural Reports as our guide, which will be accep? ted by all fair-minded men as the best known source from which to obtain data to make an approximate estimate of the yield of the States, we submit also the compara? tive results with Texas and Arkansas: Texas?wheat: average bushels, 13; aver? age price per bushel, $1.08; amount per acre, $14.04. Oats: average bushels, 31; average price per bushel, 58c; amount per acre, $17.98. Corn : average bushels, 25; average price per bushel, 50c; amount per acre, $12.50. Cotton: average pounds, 553; average price per pound, 3jc; amount per acre, $18.43. Arkansas?wheat: average bushels, 14; average price per bushel, 86c; amount per acre, $12.04. Oats: average bushels, 31; average price per bushel, 22c; amount per acre, $6.97. Corn: average bushels, 43 ; average price per bushel, 24c; amount per acre, $11.32. With us?wheat: average bushels, 95 ; average price per bushel, $1.66; amount per acre, $16.05. Oats: average bushels, 19; average price per bushel, 82c; amount per acre, $15.58. Corn: average bushels, bot? tom and upland, 27; average price per bushel, 78c; amount per acre, $21.06. Cot? ton : average pounds, 807; average price per pound, 3Jc; amount per acre, $26.90. Balance of South Carolina?cotton : average pounds, 467; average price per pound, 3Jc; amount per acre, $15.57. From the above it will be seen that farm? ing here is certainly flattering in its results. We make $2 per acre more with wh eat than the renowned State of Texas, and $4 per acre more than Arkansas, the most fertile of all the West. With oats, $2.40 less than Texas, and $8.60 more than Arkansas. With corn, $8.50 more than Texas, and $10.75 more than Arkansas. In averaging the corn with us, we averaged the bottoms and upland together. With cotton, we are $8.50 ahead of Texas, and $11.40 ahead of the average for South Carolina. With such an exhibit, we must say to you, farmers, if you are not prospering do not blame your vocation on the fertility of your soil. Look to your management, and study economy in all things. Surely, with such results, together with our renowned climate, and cold and sparkling water, and moral and thrifty neighbors, we should be contented. Respectfully, R. W. Simpson, ) D. K. Norris, > Committee. L. Newton, J Note?It was uniformly answered by every farmer in tho Grange that they had never lost a hog by theft. There will be a meeting of Huntor's Spring Grange on Friday, 9th instant, at 1 o'clock p. m. Officers will bo elected and other important business attended to. Orrville Grange will meet on Friday, 23d instant, at 9 o'clock a. m. Business of im? portance will come before the Grange, and a full meeting is desired. We arc requested to urgo all the members of Rock Mills Grange to meet at the Grange Hall on the third Saturday of this month, at 10 o'clock a. in., for the purpose of trans? acting important business connected with the Grange interests. Col. E. M. Rucker is expected to address the meeting, and all arc requested to bring their baskets for dinner. The occasion will doubtless be a pleasant one, and those who attend will be more than repaid for their presence. The Associate Grange will meet at An? derson C. H. January 10, 1880. Subject for general discussion: The cheapest and most economical plan for working and feeding plow animals. Several essays on interest? ing topics will be read. The meeting will held at the Fair Grounds, and all Grangers are invited to be present. The ladies of the Anderson Grange are requested to bring their baskets for a picnic dinner. The oc? casion will be a pleasant one, and all who can attend will enjoy the meeting. The next meeting of the State Grange will be held in Charleston on the 3d day of February next, and it is very desirable that as many of our sub-Granges should be rep? resented in that meeting as possible. They are not entitled to representation unless they are clear on the books of the Secreta? ry, and hence it is urged that all sub Granges make their report by the 15th of this month and pay up all past dues to the 31st December last, so as Co entitle them to a seat and a vote in the State Grange. Brethren, do not allow negligence to place you in an unnatural position. Do You Want to Enjoy Life??Death, or what is worse, is the inevitable result of continued suspension of the menstrual flow. It is a condition which should not be trifled with. Immediate relief is the only safe? guard against constitutional ruin. In all cases of suppression, suspension or other irregularities of the "courses," Dr. J. Brad field's Female Regulator is the only sure remedy. It acts by giving tone to the nerv? ous centres, improving the blood, and de? termining directly to the organs of men truation. It is a legitimate prescription, and the most intelligent doctors use it. Ask your druggist for it. Special Notices. John E. Peoples will buy all your rem? nants of loose cotton?seed or lint. Bring it on. STRAYED OR STOLEN.?A Setter Pup, yellow color, white ring around neck, white feet, answers to the name of Jack.
