Hot and dry, rain needed for the i crops. < Very few potato sprouts have j been set out. Corn is looking well j except on bottom lands.

I The stock law attracts u uch at- ( tcution, but writers on the subject, i give but few practical poiuts for or i against it. i C. i Thinks It A (lood Thing. i Editor Hkrald:? any of the ! farmers do not look at the stock 1 law in tlie right light. If Marion 1 farmers buy cattle here it is because ( there is no feed here for them. I ' have seen droves of cattle going a- 1 way from Horry with their backs ' looking like saws. They had to take /ihem where there was feed. 1 know of men who keep their stock shut ' up in the day and turn them out at | uigbt to cut their neighbors' crops, ' where thov have no timber to build 11 a good fence Such men should not ( be allowed to vote on the question 1 Without the law it will soon be hard 11 t ininc 5 >i I Kn f (I./. /... t i m. ^ I V II w\;i |HII 1 UI tuu WIJ account of lack of timber. Wo will c not have to tear down fences for a * railroad, for the fences will be rot- 1 ten and no rails to replace them. It 1 t \ is better to enrich a small farm j (than to tend a large poor one. Lets ! have the law and bring our land up 1 to its worth. The larger part of the J meat eaten in the county comes front J other parts of the world. 1 H, Row ell. Eddy Lake Dots. I Our entire community has looked forward with much pleasure to the , coming of last Friday, and upon its arrival, we turned out in full force to witness the closing exercises of 1 the Inland Academy. The programme we cannot euu me rate, but early in the session our I teacher offered two prizes to bo awarded on this day, for Scholar- ' ship and Deportment. These were . honorably won by Misses Reba and Sadie Dusenbury and were present ed to the young ladies by Rev. 11 Hodges in a few well chosen words. 0 In connection with the exercises, 0 a tree was planted in honor of Ar- J bor Day. An able address on this subject and Forestry, was delivered 11 by Rev. C. E. Robertson, in his impressive way. This was very instructive and interesting for both ? old and young. ^ We then repaired to the campus where a bountiful feast was spread. s Dinner finished, the crowd divided ? into groups where each partieipa- , ted in the pleasures they most do- a sired, and the afternoon passed away ? all too soon. ^ For the past nine months this * /school has been under the efficient supervision of Miss Ada Saunder.*. i of McConnellsville, S. C , and w? I ' glory with her in its crowning sue- J cess. Miss Saunders' ability as a teacher is abovecomment, her work . being satisfactory to both patrons 1 and pupils, she was re-elected by j acclamation, and the entire community will welcome her return as si' is loved by all. -?*>? p On the evening of the " r Miss Flora Pinner gav? - 4,110 , in honor of our /'dJ'a reception ( This too will long lovable teacher, our young peonbbe remembered by ly one of thr a? it was not onseason, but *'most pleasant of the the sad w,' had combined with it .

J; Branded us False. 1 u Editor Hkhald.?We find it nec- f essary to make a statement through c your columns in regard to certain u slanderous reports which have gone i abroad concerning the Stack house? Abrams affair. We were two of the ' witnesses at the inquest and some c one unknown to us started the ?h- t surd story that we owed Jas. Stack- f housb, Lanneau Stack house's father, a large sums of money and were s bought over to testify in behalf of f his son. c The large sum that we owed Jas. Stackhouse was in round numbers \ $23.00. M ore than a week before \ the shooting occurred, Mr. Stack- t house applied for payment of this c balance, and we ordered If. H. Woodward Ksq., to pay it out of r money in his hands coming to us. r At the time of the occurrence, this i small amount, so far as we were t concerned, was the same as paid, t Any one who doubts this statement a may apply at the office of lawyer a Woodward, where what we say will c be corroborated. The story that has gone abroad, r wo braud as an infamous lie. WTe s had no biased motives whatever in a giving our testimony. We were eye b witnesses to the terrible affair and b related the story before the Coroner r honestly as we saw bt take place. k VETERAN REPLIES ro the Recent Article of the Rev. C. E. Robertson Which was in Reply to an Article in an Apr. Issue. Kditoh Hkram>: ? When I wrote ,hat short article about moving the lispensary to Conway, 1 did not inish, but stopped short for the nail. I did not wish nor look for iny controversy but wrote through he good will that I had for the people of Conway, especially the fair a dies. I know how it is to cross a itreet to relieve them from the insults of a drundard fori have done tills myself. Why the brother waited nore than a month and then under took to criticise what 1 wrote, i do aot know, but I think he failed to riticise a word I wrote. 11c tried ?n words and sentences of his own, out I did not write them and people can refer to the Hkkai.p of the Jlh of April to read it. He seems to take insult at my asking for merjy on any minister that would sign i petition to place a whiskey shop n a clean little town in the midst >f three churches, where people neet every sabbath to worship. I lid not know the minister, neither lid 1 care for I would have said tin1 same of Bishop Duncan had lie sign id the petition, lie starts by suyng that every remark written by ne deserves the severest criticism. I will leave this for any honest^wnv: i . . i * . i i i _ ri. A i. jiaseu miiiu 10 m't'iin', rie uhmi un lertakcs to clear up matters by sayng they are auioyed by the liquor irought from the dispensary and want to share in the profits, virtually acknowledging what 1 said. Well, other localities are sutlerng in the same way, but thev are lot clamoring for it to be brought n the neighborhood. He then tries o speak for me, that men can gel Irunk, break the law. and pay no ine. I never wrote, hinted at, or iven wanted anyjsuch a thing. Ho hen says that 1 think the people of Conway are unjust to fine people for ireuking the law I never said or bought such thing. I only wish hev were more strict to enforce the aws than they are. Ile?says that 1 on at heart opposed to any law of Hod or man. This is too absurd to leed contradiction. I am too old md am too well known about Jon way to try to refute what cviry straggler that conies from some vhereelso chooses to heap upon me. leave that for the good Lord and ny friends to decide. lie speaks of he murderer and the drunkard, the atter destroys soul and body but ntimalcs that a man shot down on he street will go to a better place, f that be so there are many that fear ought to seek such a death. He says if I oppose the penalty mposed by man, that I am opposed o the penalty imposed by God. "lot so. If I were I would ask hrougli the Hkhald for all Chrisians to pray for me and indeed 1 lo that I may never again fall into he hands of one that sets himself qi as prosecutor, judge and jury. He states that I was coriect bout, his starting some new reform >arty. He ought to lay down the undamental principals of his party o as to get some few followers to oin him. He runs on at length, but ccomplishing nothing deserving noice, till he says that every law of nan is ordained of God and that we ught to obey them and carry them nit. Let him look back to laws that cere made to burn or behead Chrisians for worshipping the Lord and nany other laws, but in tho wind ip (he changes his coat as he often toes I oxpect), says he belcives witli 11 his heart that the State of South Carolina as a State is a criminal bcore God for operating tho dispen ary, but that we must obey and arry out the laws. Patronize it, >uy drink, got drunk, shoot down my one, gentleman or lady, that relists the dispensary law and make t a respectable thing; setting n jreat example for the'young boys lay it is nice and respectable. It it i fearful example I think and one hat God will not let go unpunished. Now I thought a preacher was tc a light and an example fcyf it m md not evil, And I t?V*h -^v K??d - ac countable t/ortlv/s'J4nnlt a 111 an ue sets ot?*? uotl for the exai"J 0 tx; acrw?-uers and that he ought ] uncountable to his country. ' imow for my position. I said noth tig against the law or the fines but eferred to tho temptation. We re commanded to keep out of the iay of temptation and there are nany weak brethren who can get long very well when there is very ittle or no temptation, but put it ight before them and they iall I iftve often heard good citizens say, 'Well if the dispensary was hero in Don way, I would go and get some, nit I can't afford to go toToddville" md many good citizens that would lot think of getting drunk might fo to Conway, take a little with his riends, and not being used to it or Irinking one kind with one and mother kind with another, would be Irunk before he was aware of it. We must not tempt our brethren. It must needs be that offenses some but woe to him through whom he offense cometh. It were better or him that a mill stone were hung kbout his neck and he cast into the ica." My brother ought to be careul ol giving ofTenses and setting bad samples. J have no apology to make for vhat 1 wrote. If there is anything vrong in it, I would like my friend 0 charge it to Ignorance, an error >f the head and not of the heart. Why did not the brother givo his casons and in the end virtually adnit as our editor did like an honest nau and a gentleman? I hope the >rother will prove what he wrote hat he did not like a controversy, md try to adorn his profession by 1 well ordered walk and a godly :onversation. He and I could employ our time nore profitably than in a controvery. Two wrongs never make a right ,nd if a man makes a mistake or a ?lunder he must not make another >y trying to prove the first to be ight. Better be quiet or make acnowledgement*. I hope if the brother intends to nyjjpie intc a controversy that he will uot wait till I am dead, but in case be does I think many of my friends will answer him. Mr. Editor you can give my name as I am not ashamed of it or of whal I have written. Ad I ask of any man is justice, honorable and fair I dealing. V. H. Jonkh. Booth Budget. Crops are looking well consider- j ing the cool weather of the past. Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Birnhill of Calivants Ferry were on a visit to the latter'a parents last Sunday. Rev. 0. F.

"G. tt B." of Greeu Sea says some of his neighbors have been pasturing their stock for the last three years and they like it much better than the woods. If they like it we have no object ions to their pasturing their stock as much as they like. People in this section have no where to pasture their stock except the I woods We need all our cleared i land for crops. ! I hope the people in the county ! will help us on election day to keep off the curse of the stock law. ii. B. ! MARRIED. ' At the residence of the bride's parents near Loris, S.
