' N. ?w-^Mb. Editoe : When a man loses his temper to regard to a newspaper para? graph that does not allude to him, I : feint it;certainly not very dignified, or yery interesting reading for fee subscri . bers of; a paper. I did not mention any oneaa being a "blamefool," nor. would I use.Buch language in print without some one else was the author of it. I do not care to have anything to say to such a writer, but I must say feat he seems very much interested about re? vising the whole Code of the State. When.he has thoroughly demolished and tore Mp our whole State, let us turn him loose on Texas/ as he is very, familiar ^?V^^Mn^ expressions. I called no one a "blame fool," nor didl intimate such a thing. Howevei, I suppose I stepped on the tail and the head sqnecied. Fabjxeb. : There are forty-two cases of murder ?ri the docket of the August term of-fee &?'?oiui o/Session? for Edgefield County K ;?UU hear from." At least Two Days in the Country. Mr. Editor : I left tbe city on the 4th of June for Fork Township, which is the banner Township of the County. The crops on tho road uro small, and Borne of them have plenty of pasturage growing with them. After landing at my friend Mr. J. A. Burgess', and re? freshing the inner man with an abund? ant dinner, we traveled over the Town? ship all evening. Crops generally are in a good fix. Wheat 1b light, with short heads, which will be lost in cutting. The oat crop is thin on the land, bnt looks well. Cotton and corn are at least three weeks behind ordinary years. After spending the evening in a part of the County that I had never been in, we returned home, and my friend showed me over Borne of his crop and watering * patch, which was fine; also, his fruit crop, of which he has all kinds. He has apple trees bearing pears by budding. He showed me one limb on a peach tree which he budded one year ago last Fall, and the limb was eight feet in length and full of fruit different from the rest on the main tree. He has a full assortment of fine fruits. Returning to the house his good lady had prepared a lot of nice things?fried" chicken, raspberry pies,' &c.?to refresh the inner man, and after ? supping, heartily we spent a few hours talking about tho past, and speculating on the future, including the would-be candidate. My friend said he wanted to live to see another 76 campaign. In the morning I took my departure, leaving, however, some small chickens coming on for the would-be candidate. My friend said he wanted to see all of them, for he intended to elect some one. I made my way through Pendleton Township, where the wheat on red lands was better than on sandy. The cotton and corn was larger than in the Fork and in good fix. Over some spots - Gen. Green had com? plete sway. Pendleton is ahead, so far as I have seen, this Spring in crop;. ? , D. E. Carlile. That Digging Farmer. ?- In the Intelliqbnceb of Jnne 10 th la a communication from "Another Far? mer," 'who. makes very free use of the 'vtovl "digging" without any positive de? finition as to what class, of "digging" farmers ie belongs. My observation k that there is'at least two classes of, "dig? ging" farmers, viz: One class digging in the fields about their crops with, fiat tools, and make their "grub" by digging in the soil. There- is another class that dig it out of their tenants and others' pockets with sharp steel tools (steel pens) byj'booking" up. supplies at high rates, &c. It is to be regretted that the-latter class of digging farmers are the first to hear the sound of alarm com? ing from the silvery horr^in the political arena, and the last to "stop digging and look up" when hie hears the flat sound of the pumpkin vine horn of distress blown by the digger; of the soil. Yes, there is all the difference, in the two elassea of "digging" farmers. To the one that digs in the -cornfield, in tb.No hot June day's sun,, there io,nothing that sound* sweeter than the dinner-horn ; but as the other ?ass?f "digging" farmers are deprived of a pleasant nooning in the shade after, digging in the sun, it is nothing unnatu? ral that th6y hanker after, a pleasant nooning some, where, if it only be one month cracking.pindere in the State Housa. Seally there. is no difference; worth talking about between a merchant farmer, a town merchant or a professional man. \ There is about aa much demagog ery in one class aa another, and if the ^"diggers of ; the soil" want a genuine rep? resentative, let's trot him right out of the corn-field, (not a cotton patch,) with a pumpkin vine horn, and his pockets full, of pinders, and if the. sons of tho soil rally iu solid phalanx to the sound of the pumpkin vino..of their., standard bearer, a3 they have stood by guano and cotton, he will snrely see the promised laud Of the Till man experimental farm.. Third Farmer Heard1 From. - . Mr. Editor: Everything, almost, has an end or ending. The year ends just after Chrifltmia, and all liens end about the same time; and last, but not least, all contracts have an end.. We had one about two years long, (thirteen months to the year,^tt that,) but it has about .ex? pired, all the same. I tell you it is.a gloriouHf ending. A* I look back upon the two years!past I almost conclude that i we we don't need any man or set of men to send to Columbia to make laws for us, and the only proof necessary to establish my assertion ia the record of the past two years. There are three issues of great importance which the* members : should have taken < hold of and made a satisfactory disposition of. These issues are free tuition at the 8. 0. University, I unnecessary appropriations, and the right of the people to vote on prohibition. .Now,to show you what.our legislators did, I will mention only a part of the appropriations to show where the money goes, and what I' mean. If y?n will refer to the Intelligencer of Dec. 24, 1885, yon will see what I mean by appro? priations. The Executive Department received a total of $64,000. From this $18,000 for tbe military, (which is afl humbug,) should be stricken out, and we have $46,060. This sum should be di? vided by two, and we would have $23,000, which is the greatest plenty for that de? partment. Whenever you make the [ salaries so large men will seek the office ' for the money that is in It, and corrap I tion follows. You see in this one de? partment we can save $41,000 for the future. The appropriations for tbe other departments amount to $434,000; divide this by two, and we can save $217,000. Add these together and we have almost enough to pay the interest on the debt of the State. Now, I contend that there are hundreds of good men who never had. and don't want any office who would serve a term or so for less than half the money which is paid to the present in? cumbents, and would fill it with distinc? tion and. an honorable record. There ought to be a change, and that at once. We must have a big .reduction in our taxes and have it now. The question naturally arises, who can we get to ac? complish what we want, and what we must and will have ? If every man will take the interest in the matter that he is entitled to, we can secure what we want. As I have mentioned certain issues, I take the liberty to mention the names of a few men who I believe would help us to secure the reforms we need. They may not want to serve, but we would like to hear from them. The people are the choosers of the ones who make our laws from this day on, aud we are going to know who we send and what they are good for. For; the Senate I would en? dorse E. B. Murray, Esq., and for the House would suggest J. Belton Watson and George E. Prince, Esq. I would mention others, but will not undertake to do so .at present. Everybody is equally interested in this matter, and now is the tiino to speak?aud say it luud?so that every one can hear it. Winz. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. 0., Juno 12,1886. The President's return to the city was as quiet an the arrival of any other citi? zen of the Bepublic. It doubtless would have been otherwise had it not been generally supposed that the same prepa? rations bad been made to elude tho anx? ious crowd as when the bridal party left to spend tbeir honeymoou in the Alle ghanies. But the morning after the return a large number of callers were at the White House, some on public busi? ness, some to pay respects socially. The bride so far has kept very exclusive, see? ing no one except wives of the Cabinet officers, She has been busy, however, acknowledging presents and letters of congratulation irom personal friends. On Thursday afternoon she and tbe Pres? ident drove out to bis country home, and 'there met tbe architect who had with him the plans for the alterations to be made in the mansion. Mrs. Cleveland soon' settled the difficulties that had seemed u as urmoun table to the President, and so h a was for the first time made to feel tbe advantages of having a helpmate In life. It was Mrs. Cleveland's first visit home, and she expressed herself as perfectly charmed with it. The recep lion at the Mansion for Tues? day evening is predicted to be a most brilliant affair. The Cabinet, the judici? ary, the Diplomatic Corp es, Congress, and 'certain Bureau officers, and the ladies of their families, will all be brought togeth? er tbe same evening, and become perso? nally acquainted with the new mistress of the White House. On the tbe Friday evening following, a public reception will be held, lasting from 9 to 11. After that there will be no more receptions, and it is announced that until after the Friday reception no callers will be received by Mrs. Cleveland. The two exciting events at the Capitol the past week were the argument made byt Judge Fol lertbn, of New York, before tho committee on war claims to pay the war debts of the Confederate States, and the attack on the War Secretary Stanton by Wheeler, of Alabama, and the defense of the Secretary by Kelley, of Pennsyl? vania. Tho two subjects revived war memories and scenes, and for a time it looked as if a second war would be fought, but this time inside of the marble walls of the building on the hill. Both the committee room and House galleries were crowded, but the Capitol police managed to preserve peace and no blood was shed although a lot of bad blood was stirred up. Congress is completely swamped, and it IB not seen how it is going to work its way from tieueath the mass of business waiting aeMcn. All efforts of the Speaker to have the chairmen of the several com? mittees to hiirmonize their differences and agree on a pi in of action to dispose of the most important bills of public inter? est haye failed. The clamor for action and pressure brought to bear on the chairmen of the committees for prece? dence is so itroug that the chairmen are non plussed, and so do nothing. One committee alone?the committee on ?claims?has had 4,000 bills referred to it for consideration. Its members are all worked down, and as a matter of personal protection to them it is said that the chairman has refused to call another meeting of the committee this session. As a conseqc.ee ce the bills before it, not already acted on, will remain in statu quo till next seasiitm. -This will give tbe members a rest. The Senate is loading down the oleo? margarine bill with all sorts of irrelevant subjects, such as tacking Morrison's tariff bill on to it by Senator Beck, and includ? ing wool and worsted goods in the tariff list by Dawes, and the like?with the hope of talking the bill to death when it is called up for debate and action. The Senators are also caucusing as to what bills shall be given consideration in the remaining days of the session. One of the bills agreed oh Is the Mexican pen? sion bill. This bill bos already parsed the House, aiad will probably become a law this session. When the U. 3. Fish Commission was established a few years ago, there were not many people who believed it would ever be anything more than an ornamen? tal appendage to the Government. Its work is, hon ever, beginning to show results folly justifying the claims that were made for fits usefulness. The great? est actual resulltsi thus far attained have been with carp, This is due to the very rapid growth olf this species and the fact that it thrives in all waters of this coun? try. It is estimated that the annual yield will- soon reach the value of $1,000,000. The Commission has also been surprising? ly successful with other popular fish, such as the shad, trout, salmon, &c., and the waters in various parts of the coun? try have been replenished with tbeir native finny tribes. Prof. Baird, Chief of the Commission, has just received from the Department of Fish culture of the lower Seine, France, a gold medal for valuable fish ova sent to the Department. 2^_ H. Effects of no License. A most thoughtful and careful observer, a citizen of Oconee County says that Pickens County certainly is the i best example in tbe United States of tbe good effects of no license system. He knew so muny men in this County that had quit the use of whiskey entire? ly, Bince its sale had been forbidden by law, and however great may have been the trial to them as individuals they no doubt rejoiced ia the change. We are not so* well prepared to speak in regard to the other towns in this Coun? ty, but under the license law, the streets of this town used to echo with profanity from the lips of men who called them? selves gentlemen; but now if there is one such, it is said to his credit, that he is heartily ashamed every time he makes the mistake. Those in the country who are still obliged, from habit, to use a little whis? key, gracefully submit to the inconveni? ence and trouble necessary to procure it, for the sake of having snares and pitfalls removed from tbe youthful aud the un? wary. Viewed in a social, moral, politi? cal or religious light, how infinitely pre? ferable is this, to what we mere wont to endure.?Bickens Sentinel. ? John H. O'Neal, a nephew of Judge O'Neal, the celebrated jurist of South Carolina, has been overwhelmingly nominated for Congress by the Demo? crats of the Second District of Indiana. Mr. O'Neal is a native of Newberry County and is forty-eight years of age. -.-The Lancaster Ledger says: "We are reliably informed that by the recent survey of the State line made by a com? missioner and survever appointed by the Legislature of North Carolina, two thou? sand acres of land heretofore considered a part of North Carolina really belongs to South Carolina. Politics in Oconec. Westminister, June 13.?The Oconee County Democratic Convention met yes? terday at Walhalla Courthouse. A large crowd of delegates woru present. A do cision of tho Convention was precipitated upou the report of the committee on credentials to whom was referred the matter of two contesting delegations from Seneca Township, whereupon six large clubs, numbering about one-half of the votes of the county, withdrew from the Convention. These clubs, through three executive members, will issue an address to the Democratic voters of the county and call a convention. Many men are of the opinion that the Convention held yester? day was called prematurely. Considera? ble interest is awakened and anxiety felt for the future unity of the party.?Dis? patch to the News and Courier. Fees in the Phosphate Salts. Columbia, S. C, May 17, 1886. To the Editor of the Newberry Obser? ver : My attention has been called to a communication in your issue of the Gtb, Bigned "Eichland," in reference to cer? tain expenditures of tbe department of agriculture for maintaining the interests of the State in her phosphate territory. . At the request of the committee, of which Mr. Shell was chairman, a full explanation of the matter was given to the lato Farmers' Convention. It was received by that body as perfectly satis? factory. It was also given in condensed form in the News ana Courier's report of the proceedings, from which "Richland" makes certain extracts. As, however, "Richland" omits to mention the figures furnished by myself, and it is proper to f;ive them the fullest publicity, I ask eave to repubiish in your columns a de? tailed statement of the.fees paid with the dates of payment. Three litigated cases have been con? ducted by the department?one against the Pacific Guano Company, another against C. C. Pinckney, Jr., and the third against Wm. B. Davis. In all the State has been so far successful. In none has the Coosaw Company the slight? est interest. When the suits were commenced, Mr. Youmans. then Attorney General, did not consider these cases as falling within his supervision. The Act of the Legis? lature respecting suits brought by the de? partment uad not been passed. The department has been represented in these cases by Messrs. A. T. Smythe, W. J. Verdier and A. M. Lee; the de? fendants by Messrs. Simonton & Barker, William Elliott, Hayne & Ficken, Robert Chisolm and H. B. Sargent, Jr., of Bos? ton. The entire fees paid to tbe State's counsel are as follows: A ?^1115,1882, General retainer..? 500 00 IN TffE PACIFIC CASE. March 23,1883.$ 650 00 August 16,1883.... 1,000 00 March 28, 1884..-..? 750 00 March 10, 1885 . 850 00 Total. 3,250 00 in pinckney and davis cases. March 23,1883.8 150 00 August 16, 1883. 600 00 March 28,1884. 750 00 March 10,1885..'. 500 00 Total. 2,000 00 Total fees paid.$5,750 00 The other expenses for all these suits, for printing, sui.jys, witness' fees, re? feree, &c, (a portion of which will be recovered from the defendants,) have been $1,968.42, making tbe aggregate for all fees and costs $7,718.42. In the Pinckucy and Davis cases the State has established title to about 5,000 acres of phosphate marsh valued at over $50,000. That the defendants appreciate this value is shown by the fact that they have appealed the case to the Supreme Court of the United States. In the Pacific G mo Company case the State has establ. led title to the beds of tbree large creeks running through Chi8olm's Island, containing a most val? uable phosphate deposit and from which a yearly income will be derived. She will also recover considerable damages for the rock removed by tbe defendants. This question is now before Judge Coth ran for his determination as to the proper amount. I have deemed it proper again to give publicity to these figures iu justice to all concerned. But while the cases are, as now, under the consideration of the Court any further newspaper discussion con? cerning them by myself, or any one else representing either party litigant, would be a manifest impropriety. A. P. Butler, . Commissioner of Agriculture. ? An exchange tells of a man who plants two or three weeks after the crop is planted, a new hill of corn every fif-H teenlh row each way. And this is the reason. If the weather becomes dry after the filling time, the silk and tassels both become dry aud dead. In this condition, if it should become seasonable, the silk revives its growth, but the tassels do not recover. Then, for want of pollen, the new silk is unable to fill the office for which it was designed. The pollen from the replanted corn is then ready to sup? ply silk, and the filling is completed. He says nearly all the abortive ears, ho common in all corn crops are caused by the waut of pollen, aud he has known ears to double their size in this filling.? Ex. ? A negro who borrowed money enough of a Raleigh merchant to get a marriage license, explained his action by saying that he had a pretty good sized cotton crop, and had heard that the farm bands talked of demanding more wages. He bad therefore looked about, and hav? ing found a healthy widow with tbree able-bodied children would marry her next Sunday and put the children to work on the farm on Monday. ? It is important to know that cedar brush lodged in fruit treeB will prevent the ravages of the caterpillar. These pestiferous insects will hot weave their webs in a tree that has even a few small cedar twigs lodged iu its branches. This information wo have from a gentleman of Chester who has knowledge of the mat? ter. Give it a trial and save your trees. ?Chester Reporter. ? Mr. Sara Williamson, living three miles from Greenville, on Wednesday unearthed a pot on his place containing over $3,000. During the war the place was owned by an aged bachelor refugee from Charleston, and it is said he told Eeopie in the neighborhood that be had is money buried. He died and his body lies buried on the place. ? Companies that insure against loss by wind storms are fast being organized in the West. One of them has this ad? vertisement in a Kansas City newspaper: "The black monster of tbe air has al? ready appeared in 1886. Take out a tor? nado policy in the Pioneer Cyclone and ?Windstorm Company." ? The State Democratic Executive Committee at its meeting on the 8th instant decided that the Convention shall meet on the 4th day of August next, and it was determined that a circular should be issued to tbe several County chairmen, urging an immediate aud thorough organization of their County organization. ? Judge T. W. Hooper, judge of Munroe County, Ark., has gone to the State penitentiary to stay two years, hav? ing been convicted of issuing fraudulent County scrip. > He will doubtless have a cheerful meeting with some of the people he sentenced to the penitentiary himself. ? A three-year-old girl fell from the balcony on the fourth floor of a Hartford house the other day, but she struck squarely across a clothes line stretched from the third floor, and the rebound throw her into a balcony there almost unhurt. ? A California farmer sent $5 to a man in tbe East in exchange for six gourd seeds warranted to produce gourds of a capacity of forty gallons. After waiting long for the seeds to sprout, he investigated and found that they were artistically carved out of basswood. The Summerville Herald says: "It is tho wish of his frieuds to make Judge Wallace Governor, with the view to electing him to succeed Gen. Hampton in tiie United States Senate." ? Mro.

The American Fruit Preserving Powder and Liquid WAS introduced last year into nearly every section of the County, so that it is not necessary for us to publish certifi? cates now, but merely call your attention to the fact that Cherries are getting ripe, and it would be well to take care of them for next Winter. If you were not fortu? nate enough to use it last year, you know nothing of its merits, but ask your next door neighbor what he thinks about it; and if he don't know, come to see us and we will point you to some friend of yours who can tell you all about it. Remember, it costs you only $1.00, and no dollar was ever more wisely invested. HILL BROS. ?3&- We have also a little GOLDEN DENT CORN. June 20, 1886 JUNE, 1886. AB.

LESSER. Agent. June 10,1886_48;_7 3m GRAND CLEARING SALE. In ORDER TO REDUCE OUR IMMENSE STOCK OF GOODS, and to make room for the third largo shipment of Dry Goods, expected to arrive daily, we have determined to offer all cur lines in this Department for the next thirty days AT GREATLY REDUCED PRICES To cash-paying customer?, and we wish to assure those who patronize us with their cash trade, that they are only charged one price for the Goods they buy from us. We mean this: That we do not charge one person more for the same article than we do another, and that we deal with everybody alike. In offering this reduction in prices we do not say that we are selling out at or below cost. On the contrary, we are engaged to sell Goods at a legitimately fair profit; and while we are satisfied with a small profit, can justly say that we are in a position to offer you better goods, prices and bargains than many other houses. We buy in large lots for cash, with our own money, therefore paying no interest on them, whereby we save six per cent on the goods, four per cent for buying in large lots, and ten per cent interest?a total saving of twenty (20) per ceut. You can, no doubt, readily see now why we can afford to make a large reduction from former prices and still live. We much prefer selling twice as many Goods as we do now at much lower prices than to sell half as many at the old-time high prices. It is conceded by every Lady who has visited our Store that we keep for sale as pretty and well selected a stock of Goods as can be found anywhere, and our largely increased City and County trade has much encouraged us to try to please the public still better in every particular. We expect to double our sales for the next two months over the sales for the corresponding time last year, and see no reason why we should not do so, having more Goods, ;it lower prices, and increased facilities than formerly. OUR DRESS GOODS DEPARTMENT Is replete with BEAUTIFUL GOODS of every texture and shade, and our lines of WHITE GOODS are simply superb. Elegant Novelties in?
