Gray ton returned home on last Monday .afternoon from a visit to Au? gusta, where he made a speech in favor of the stock law, and from a cruise around the phosphate beds of the State as a member of the State Board of Agriculture. Senator Cray ton is one of tbe originators of the Agricultural Department, and from its creation has been one ot its most infinen Hal and useful members. In this, as in everything he undertakes, be has spared neither time nor personal effort, and now. after a little more than one year from its establishment, he has the satisfaction of seeing the department firmly established, and dispensing many and increasing bene . fits to every section of onr State. The Edgefield Advertiser urges the citizens of that county to make fuli and honest re? turns of their personal property for taxa? tion this year, and thereby relieve the county of the odious charge of tax-dodging that has recently been made against it. Edgefield, however, is not tbe only county in the State where tax-dodging is practiced by the citizens failing to make honest re tarns of th'ei7personal property. It is prac? ticed to a greater or less extent in every community, and the enactment of a law to eorrect this abuse would be a step in the right direction. The personal property of the State as returned for taxation is about one-half the value of the real estate, while if the proper returns were made it would be equally as much'. German Carp. Maj. Thomas B. Lee received from the Pish Commissioner last February fifteen German Carp, of the previous spring hatch? ing, which ho placed in the mill-pond, some five miles above Anderson. A mill-boy was fishing in tho pond about two weeks ago and caught one of these fish without knowing the nature of his prize. He kept the fish .out of water until he went to the mill to take his grist home, when Mr. W. S. Lee recognized the Carp, and, being sur grised at its size, ascertained its weight to e one and a half pounds The fish, how? ever, was dead, and was therefore a great loss in the effort to stock the pond. This is a remarkable growth, and proves the Carp to be well adapted both to stocking our streams and private ponds. Every person who can make a pond should procure some of this species of the finny tribe, which it is said can be raised more easily and cheap? ly than chickens. Death of Sirs. J. B. Bonsou. The Hartwell Sun of last week contains the announcement of tho death of Mrs. Elizabeth Arlesa Benson, at her home in Hartwell, Ga., on Monday evening of last week, after an illness of some three months from bronchitis. This announcement will carry with it sadness to many relatives and friends in this county by whom the de? ceased *was greatly respected and beloved for her many virtues and estimable quali? ties of mind and heart. Tho Sun says: "Mrs. Benson was born in South Carolina the 24th of September, 1824, near the village -of Old Pickens. She was the daughter of Col. Jeptho Norton, and was reared amidst the refining influences that characterized the society of that day, and which excel? lently fitted her for the life of great useful? ness which has just sadly terminated. In the- year 1847 she was united in marriage with Hon. J. B. Benson. For a time they lived at Pendleton.-S. C, then at Fair Play, and when Hartwell was located they be? came its . first settlers. During the many years the deceased has lived in this commu? nity she has become extensively known for her gentle nature, loving and benevolent disposition,' and high Christian character. Ana indeed during that time none, knew her bnt to love her, none named her but to praise."' _._ Shot to Death by His Own Hands. On last Friday, 10th instant, at about half past one o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. William Davis, a son of Mr. W. L. Davis, of Centreville township, took his own life by shooting himself through the heart with a pistol. The cause assigned by his family for the act, which seems to have been com? mitted with deliberation and while the de? ceased was iu fn 11 possession of all his men? tal faculties, was domestic infelicities, pro? duced by the consequences of an unhappy marriage. After living together four or five years, he and his wife separated the latter part of last February, the latter tak? ing with her the two children that had been born to them. Since that time the deceased had made repeated efforts to get the chil? dren, but failed, owing to the mother's un? willingness to give them up. This, it seems, was the trouble that preyed upon the un? fortunate man's mind most, and that made death preferable to life. As soon as the information of the manner of Mr. Davis' death reached the Coroner, Joseph W. Keys-, Esq., the Sheriff was in? structed to summons a jury of inquest, which was- done on Saturday morning, when the Coroner proceeded to the resi? dence of Mr. W. L. Davis, the place at which the suicide was committed, and there held the usual inquest, at which the following testimony was taken: George Williams, being sworn, deposed as follows: I went to Mr. Leb Davis' about 1 o'clock. Before I left home I heard a pistol or gun j shot in the woods near by. I live in about two hundred and fifty yards of Mr. Davis'. When I got to Mr. Davis' William Davis, deceased, was sitting on the door step,.his mother sitting in the house. He had a pistol in his hand. I recognize this pistol (producing the pistol) as the one he had in his hand. His mother told him he had better pnt it away, and he laid it on a chest j I said to him we would go to the well and get some water, and we done so. He re? marked he had to go to plowing pretty soon, bat did not start immediately. He said he was in a heap of trouble. Before we went to the well for water, Wm. Davis, deceased, and his mother were talking about his children. He said ho was in so much trouble that he had as soon be dead, and said if he could not get out of trouble one way he could another. I told him people could never get out of trouble in this world. He remarked that oar Saviour rose on the 7th day. I told hhu no, it was the 3d day, and he said yes. that was so, and we will rise the same. "He then said, "I must go to the plow," end went through the house. Mrs. Davis invited me in the houje, and I went in and sat down at the hack door. I saw Wm. Davis stop and sit down in a chair close to the chest where he had laid the pistol. His mother was sweeping the house. He afterwards went out of the house, and in about three minutesiheard a pistol fire, and I heard Wm. Davis hoi low, "Oh, Lordy, Mama; oh, Lord!" J knew it was his voice, bat could not tell precisely the direction it came from. I then went for Mr. Leb. Davis. I was near enough to see Mr. Leb. Davis when he j found his son. This was about 2 o'clock ^m. on the 10th day of June. After the dy was moved away I saw this same pis? tol lying on the ground near where he was lying. I then went back home vith my wife. There was no one present about the house except myself, Mrs. Davis, and the deceased. Mrs. Davis and myself hunted about half an hour for Wm. Davis. We hunted in the woods adjoining the house. Found his body behind the smokehouse. He seemed to be in his right mind during our conversation. * George W. Williams. Mrs. Leb. Davis, being sworn, deposed as follows: I was at home all day yesterday [Friday]. Was in the house with Mr. Williams when the pistol was fired. He was my son, that is, the deceased. her Cabolixb X Davis. mark. Mr. Leb. Davis, being duly sworn, says I was out on my plantation when my j son shot himself. He was in his usual health at dinner time, and eat his dinner as usual. I came home from the field with him. I left the house as soon as I eat my .dinner. I left my son William there to bring the horses to the field to plow as soon as the horses were done eating. About one hoar after I left the house Mr. Williams came to the field where I was at work, and told me that he thought William had shot himself, as he heard him shoot and then heard him hollow. I came immediately to the house and found my son lying behind the smokehouse dead. It was about 2 O'clock in the evening on the 10th day of June. I saw blood on his shirt. W. L. Davis. After making a thorough examination of the wound in the body of the deceased, Dr. i J. T. McFall, being sworn, deposed as fol? lows: I find the ball entered one inch below the left nipple, passing directly through the heart and coming oat to the right of the fourth lumbar vertebra?. The wound was sufficient to cause instant death. . There was powder burn around the orifice of the wound. The pistol was certainly very close to his body. J. T. McFall, M. D. The jury returned a verdict "that the de? ceased came to his death by a pistol shot fired by his own hands." Rom and Crime. Mr. Editor: As the question of Tem? perance is being discussed in all our news? papers now, as there is certainly a great j revival of interest in the subject all over our country, and as I understand that a "dry ticket" may be run in our approach? ing municipal election in August, I have thought good to ask you to print the fol? lowing article, taken from The Watchman, a leading denominational paper in Boston. We frequently have the question of Tem? perance presented to us from the pulpit and platform, not often enongh, however, bat this article presents the question from a standpoint of carefully gathered statistics, which we do not so often see. I commend its study to those voters who have doubts about the amount of crime produced by the mannfucture and use of ardent spirits. w. hTs. The Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics of Labor has done a good service to the cause of morals by an inquiry into the con? nection between intoxicating liquors and crime, the results of which appear in the last report. That there was a direct con? nection between the two was known, by everybody; bnt just how large a percentage ; of crime is attributable to rum was not as? certained. Guesses were made, and the statement of temperance men were some? times supposed to be exaggerations, so sweeping were they. Fortunately now we have facts and figures of the most reliable kind, and need not indulge in conjecture. The report of last year showed that GO S>er cent, of all convictions in the State were or offences directly caused by liquor, such as drunkenness and selling liquor without a license. Bat this left 40 per cent, of the convictions indeterminate, and it was the object of the bureau to ascertain what pro? portion of this quantity could be traced to rum. The investigation was limited to Suffolk County, as it was assumed that the figures for it might be accepted as a suffi? ciently accurate index to those of the whole Commonwealth, and, indeed, to the whole ?ountry. In one respect the statistics of the county chosen differ from those of the whole State; they give 75 per cent, as the proportion of crimes directly traceable to liquor, such as drunkenness, and they leave but 28 per cent, to be investigated. The inquiry was conducted with great care. In every court of the county an agent was paid to investigate each cose. He was to talk with the criminal, with his friends, with the officers who arrested him, and he was to inquire into the history of the criminal. Each case was examined in five directions: 1, It was asked whether the criminal was under the influence of liquor at the time the deed was done; 2, Whether he was In liquor when he formed the intent to commit the crime; 3, Whether he had been led by intemperate habits into a condition which induced the com? mission of the crime; 4, Whether the in? temperate habits of others led him into a condition which induced the commission of the crime; and, 5, What were the drink? ing habits of the criminal, whether he was a total abstainer, a moderate drinker, or an excessive drinker. There were other pre? cautions which tended to make the statis? tics conclusive. The results obtained are exhibited in a variety of ways in a number of tables. We can only state the one fact that the investi? gation results in the addition of 12 per cent, to the 72 per cent, of crimes already direct? ly traceable to rum, making, a total of 84 per cent, due to this one cause. Most of these are crimes against persons, such as as? saults, murders, and robberries. The fig? ures which tbe bureau has collected at so much cost of labor and patience may wll startle the legislator and the tax-payer, and arouse to renewed dilligencc the advocates of prohibition. A H?del Farmer. Mb. Eoitob: A few years ago the Messrs Glenn, three sons of Mr. F. M. Glenn, purchased the valuable McCann farm of Maj. T. H. McCann. For this property they paid twelve dollars per acre?six thousand dollars. One-third of this amount was paid in cash, the balance has been made on the farm, and the pay? ments promptly met. The elder ot the three brothers, T. S. Glenn, has had special charge of the farm, and well and successfully has he performed tho respon? sible duty. The McCann farm is one of the oldest settled places in the upper edge oL*Anuersou County, and bus been in the E>ssession of tbe old proprietor, Maj. cCann, some sixty years or more. In ante-bellum times the Major was always regarded as one of our most successful and progressive farmers. He may justly be regarded as the pioneer in the use of Peruvian guano and the cultivation of clover and grass. He maintained the fertility of the farm in a high condition by the liberal application of stable and lot manures, supplemented with a judi? cious use -of guano and cotton seed. Consequently when the purchase was made on the part of the Messrs. Glenn the farm was already in a state of ad? vanced cultivation. Under their skillful management the high character of tbe farm has been not only maintained, but considerably increased. Recently, in company with Mr. John M. Glenn, we passed over tbe various crops in cultiva? tion the present year, and think the man? ager of the farm is justly entitled to the appellation of the model iarmer. He has made no attempt at special crops or pre? mium acres, but prefers by careful culti? vation and liberal manuring to bring up all the crops to the point of liberal and remunerative yields. Whilo cotton is the leading crop, yet tbe corn and small grain crops receive equal attention, and are always arranged to yield a liberal supply for the farm itself. Tb.8 corn crop is mostly planted on the fine bottom lands lying on the creek immediately above Rankin's old mill-site, which, a few years ago, was lost to cultivation by overflow and otberwiso, bat since the re? moval of the dam it has been nearly all reclaimed (53 acres) and brought into a high state of cultivation. And other farmers owning bottom lands along said ereek and above said dam are gradually bringing all these valuable lands into cultivation, and very soon the whole of them will be groaning under the most luxuriant crops. But we have digressed. Tiie wheat crop of tbe Messrs. Glenn, although injured somewhat by tbe severe dry weather, will average about ten bushels to the acre. The oat crop, how? ever, will be seriously cut off. The pol? icy of Mr. Glenn, seems to be to raise an abundant supply of the provision crops and as much cotton besides as the hands can thoroughly manure and cultivate well. On these two points, liberal ma? nuring and careful cultivation, turns the entire success of these enterprising young men. And this principle not only applies to their individual crops, but also to that of all their renters. The same careful cultivation which is manifest in the crops of tbe proprietors themselves, is also ap? parent in tbe crops of their renters, white and colored. One of the rer.. rs is cultivating an upland field in corn, called the briar patch, which, Maj. McCann says, has been in cultivation one hun? dred years. With average seasons it will make four barrels of corn to the acre. It is planted four feet ea^h way, one stalk in the hill, and cultivated both ways with tbe plough. Mr. Glenn utilizes all the cotton seed on the farm in manuring for wheat and cotton. For wheat he ap Elies broadcast some twenty-five or thirty ushels to the acre, and for cotton he lists in some fifteen or twenty bushels of raw seed to the acre, with about one hun? dred and twenty-five pounds acid. Upon this, together with all the stable and lot manure that can be raked up, a bed is thrown with a turn plow, which lies in this condition till planting time, then the bed is completed preparatory to planting the crop. Mr. Glenn always plants all his hoed crops just as early as the season will admit. No postponing for the moon, a Good Friday, or any thing of the sort, but a pressing of the work of planting until the last seed is put into the ground. And this principle applies to the bottom lands as wolL The earlier planting, usually the better stand, the longer tho season to mature the crop and the larger the yield. At least such is Mr. Glenn's experience. Another grand secret of Mr. G's. success in farming is his close, personal, unremitting attention, the whole season, to the cultivation of all the crops raised. On this point Mr. G. will not admit of any interruption. Mr. John Glenn attends specially to tho garden, potato and water-melon patches, and succeeds as well in these departments as his other brother in tbe he1!. His prospects for early melons, however, was well nigh utterly destroyed this spring by a small bug, like the lady bug, which, in a few hours, nearly destroyed all the eai ly plants. By a liberal application of ashes he arrested their ravages, has re; planted his crop, and all is well now". From a friend in Alabama Mr. G. re? ceived a few cotton seed of a noted va? riety, name unknown. One stalk of last year's growth is now on exhibition in Washington with one hundred and forty open bolls. On the 25th of May Mr. G. had a well-developed square. Mr. G. also has a superior plan for watering cucumber or similar plants in a dry sea? son. Ho inserts a tile, some twelve or fourteen inches long, by pushing through tbe soil to the bed of roots, and by pour? ing the water through the tube it reaches the roots entirely below the surface and free from the scorching effects of the sun. T. H. R. A Pleasant Occasion. Mb. Editob: Quite a number of your readers had the privilege and pleasure on the 4th instant of attending a very interest? ing entertainment at the school house near Mr. W. G. Watson's, in Varennes township, the nature of which was a May festival, conducted by Miss Maggie Danley and her school. The school room was elaborately and tastily decorated with flowers and ever? greens, and as the curtain was raised Miss Ella Dean, seated on a beautifully decora? ted throne wns revealed as the "Flower Queen," and was crowned as such by Miss Ida Beaty. Then appeared around the throne the Fairy Princes and Graces, each reciting some appropriate extract, followed by a speech from tho Queen, and closing with a song by the festive band. The ex? ercises of the morning following the coro? nation consisted of speeches, essays, dia? logues and songs, the happy blending of which proved very conclusively to every one present that the supervisor and man? ager was one of no ordinary taste and judg? ment, and in every respect well qualified for the high position she occupies. After dinner the company reassembled at tbe stand, and were entertained for some time by Mr. H. G. Scudday in an excellent address, replete with wholesome food for thought and sound and prncticaljadvice to both young and old. S. When the Fields arc White with Cotton.
