In addition to its customary monthly advice, its answers fc> inquiries and the article contributed by : that veteran and triumphant farmer, Mr. David Dickson, it is replete with articles of interest and value on every subject which is allied in any manner to the pursuit of agriculture. Ai we turn page after page we are delighted with its varied contents, and feel sure that the man or the woman who applies $1.10 in connection with our jour? nal, in payment tot a year's subscription thereto, makes a wise and profitable invest? ment. The Barnwell People voices our sentiment in the following: ''The candidacy for Dem? ocratic nominations in our County promi? ses to be large and lively. Tbis journal will, as in post campaigns, favor a free and fair fight. It will not give editorial aid and comfort to any aspirant. Its columns will be open to communications from candi? dates and their backers who will furnish cash to the printer and arguments to the public. No others will be admitted. The people of the County want good servants, and every nag must run on its own merits. They who trust to cliques and combina? tions will surely come to grief and tote the trail.' A correspondent of the Rural New-Yorker describes the following method by which an extraordinary crop of watermelon:, was raised: Holes were dug ten feet apart each way, eighteen inches square and fifteen inches deep. These holes were filled with well-rotted manure, which was thoroughly incorporated with the soil. A low, flat hill was then made and seed planted. When the vines- were large enough to begin to run, the whole surface was covered to the depth of a foot or fifteen inches with wheat straw. The straw was placed close up around the vines. No cultivation whatever was given afterward; no weeds or grass grew. The vineo spread over the straw, aud the melons matured clean and nice. The yield was abundant, and the experi? ment an entire success." This plan is sure? ly worth trying. Hate not. It is not worth while. Your life is not long enough to make it pay to cherish ill will or hard thoughts toward anyone. What if the t man has cheated you or that woman played you false? What if this friend h is forsaken you in your time of need, or that one having won your utmost confidence, your warmest love, has concluded that be prefers to consider and treat you as a stranger? Let it all pass. What difference will it make to you in a few years, when you go hence to the "undiscovered country?" All who treat you wrong now will be more sorry for it than you, even in your deepest disappoint? ment and grief can be. A few more smiles, a few more tears, somo pleasure, much pain, a little longer hurrying and worrying in the world, some hasty greetings and ab? rupt farewells, and life will be over, and the injurer and injured will be laid away, and ere long forgotten. It is not worth while to hate each other. The Negro Exodus to Arkansas. On last Monday afternoon long before the time for the arrival of the up-train crowds of negroes?men, women and children could be seen wending their way to the de? pot, and considerable excitement seemed to be prevailing among them. It was another party of emigrants leaving for Arkansas. With that curiosity characteristic of a' newspaper scribe we went to the depot to see them off. Arriving there we found a very large crowd of negroes, the majority of them women, standing on the platforms and the ground adjacent, awaiting the train. The arrival of Barnum's show could not have drawn a larger crowd. Gazing on the crowd, we thought if they were all going to leave, the city would surely be depopu? lated of the "colored brother." We in? quired of the agents how many tickets had been sold, and were informed that only twenty-seven had been purchased. There were several small children in the party, and this would make the number of emi? grants over thirty. We made our way through the crowd, inquiring of nearly every man if he was going off. All of them gave ns a negative answer. Finally |we came across one who replied in the affirmative. He was appa? rently about thirty yeais old, and dressed in an old worn-out suit of clothes. Strapped across his back he carried an old mnsket, and in or. e hand held a budget of clothes and in the other an old quilt or two. "You look like you are fixed for travel? ling," said we to him. "Yes, sir," he replied. "Where are you going ?" "Kansas." "You are not going where the others are, then ? They are going to Arkansas." "Dat's de place. We all's gwine to stop at Little Rock." "What are you going to do there?" "Oh, I'se gwine to work. I kin git twen? ty dollars a month out dar working on de farm, an' won't hev to work hard at dat." We then asked him if he had money enough to carry him out there. He re? plied, in substance, that he could get a ticket at Seneca City and pay for it after he arrived at his destination. At this juncture of the conversation the whittle of tho ap proaching train sounded and the darkey moved away from us. As the train rolled up the excitement in? creased, some of the women singing, in a low tone, "Git on hoard, little chillun." You conld hardly hear your cars for the continuous talking, all of their tongues moving at once, bidding the emigrants good-bye and telling them they hoped soon to join thern in their new home. The train roUed off and we could not miss those that had gone. We are told that quite a number of men and boys left the city Sunday afternoon afoot, going to Seneca City, where they took the cars. This makes perhaps seventy or eighty negroes that have emigrated. We understand that another party expect to leave next Saturday or Monday. The emigration spirit seems to be spread? ing all over the County. As yet we are un? able to learn the cause of the sudden move? ment. We surmise, however, that it has been slowly and silently worked up by some of their designing leaders, who, it is said, receive from two to five dollars from the emigration agents for ?very ticket pur? chased. We can attribute the movement to nothing else, for we venture there is not a County in the State where the negroes.as a whole, are in better condition than those of Anderson County. There are quite a number of them who own farms, well stocked with farming implements, stock, <fec, and who have good credit. This class, however, do not seem to be affected with a desire to emigrate. It is confined, in a great degree, to their worthless, thriftless brother, who is easily duped by any schem? ing or designing party that comes along. Arkansas is a fine agricultural State, and if they will go there and go to work, econo? mize and cease roving about from place to place, they will thrive and prosper. If they go there, however, under the delusion that, they will not have to work for a living they will be badly disappointed. An Alleged Abduction. The Greenville correspondent of the News and Courier gives the following account of an unfortunate scandal which involves a family of good standing at Williamston in this County: Quite a sensation was created in Green? ville on last Monday by the arrest of J. H. Foulk, one of the passenger conductors of the Columbia and Greenville Railroad, charged with the abduction of a young girl of yfilliamston, a student of the William ston Female College and a daughter of a respectable gentleman of that town. The circumstances so far as developed are these: A pretty young girl, probably about 15 or 10 years of age, arrived here on Thursday night last by the train of which Mr. Foulk was conductor, and was accompanied by him to the Mansion House, where he reg? istered her under the fictitious name of Delia Brewer of Grove Station. That night she was escorted to the opera by Mr. Foulk. On Friday morning the girl took Mr. Foulk's train to Greenwood, and it is known here that she went to Augusta. The father of the girl had the police notified here on Saturday of ber flight with the request that she be apprehended und de? tained, and he also requested the arrest of Foulk. This morning the latter was taken with a warrant issued by Trial Tusticc Furman upon the affidavit of a policeman, the charge being abduction. The girl's father arrived here this morning, and for some time it was thought a shooting scrape would soon follow. Foulk was, however, taken before the justice, and the prosecu? tion not being ready fur the investigation the preliminary bearing was put off until Wednesday. Fuiiik was released on a bond of $500. which he readily succeeded in giving. Without being able to give the facts, as they will c>mc out in the official investigation, I will give what seems to he the best authenticated version and theory of the case from thesideof the prosecution. It is believed that notes have been passing between Foulk and the girl as the former passed up and down the road on his regular trips and that he has been passing himself offasusingle man, while he lias a wife and several children in Columbia, of which city he is a resident. It is the belief of the father that Foulk deliberately abducted his daughter under promise of marriage. Foulk denies the whole matter so far as criminal intent on his part is concerned. He says after the girl boarded his train on Thursday she handed him a slip of paper containing the name of Delia Brewer and requested him to have her registered at the Mansion House under that name, stating that she was running away from her pa? rents. He stat j also that his escorting her to the opera was by her request, that she went on his train to Greenwood on Friday of her own motion, and that after putting her off at Greenwood he knew no more of her movements or whereabouts. He says he regarded it his duty as conductor to wait upon the girl and register her at the hotel as she had requested, and that he advised her to return to her parents. The latter statement he says he can prove by good witnesses, and that he will prove also that while the girl's room at the-Mansion House was in close proximity to his he occupied his usual room, being a regular hoarder at the Mansion House, when in Greenville, aud that the male companions who occu? pied the room with him that night will ! testify that he did not go about the room occupied by the girl. There are many points yet to bo developed. It is said the girl told her younger sister before leaving home that she was going to run away and get married. There are grains of evidence contained in what is talked of sub rosa that weigh heavily against Mr. Foulk. One of the points against him is that while he de? nied knowing the whereabouts of the girl, after leaving her at Greenwood, the infor? mation is derived in a wajr regarded as making it certain that he not only knew the girl was in Augusta, but gave to per? sons here the name of the street and the number of the house in which she could be found in that city. Future develop? ments will verify or contradict this and other points about which there is room for doubt and controversy. If he is guilty of the abduction there is no evidence in the j facts as so far developed to show tkut the evident design of such a scheme was con? summated. The preliminary examination on Wednesday will excite great interest. It is believed by persons here that the affair will end in bloodshed, but there have been no actual demonstrations toward violence so for. It is rumored that public sentiment is strong against Foulk at Williamston. In Greenville the same sentiment prevails* but it is tempered with an "if," as the \ principal part of the evidence must come from Williamston, and the general public [in this locality know but little of the cir? cumstances of the affair. The young lady involved in this escapade is Miss Rinah Johnson, daughter of Mr. J. D. Johnson, and a pupil of the Williamston Female College. She is a pretty and accom? plished young lady, and the affair is to be deeply regretted. We understand that she was followed to Augusta and brought back to Williamston. We have been unable to obtain any iurther details of the affair, but we hope both on account of the lady and her parents that it may turn out to be only a foolish freak of the young lady, without any moral wrong on her part.
