Miss Mcl Dowell, whose death is men tioned elsewhere in these columns left to her only near relative a Mrs. Sloan, a sister, who now lives in this place alone and almost destitute. Mrs. Sloan is a widow lady without children ot near kin, old and very feeble, and ii altogether a worthy subject of a liber 21l and christain charity. Particularly does she merit the benevolence or as sistance of the good people of Winsbo vo, when It is remembered that she lost her six and only boys in the Confeder ate army during the late war. She las given so much for the country. Will the country give nothing in return? Winsboro' News and Herald. The above paragraph tells the whole story of Confederate ingratitude to her tioldiers,while it kindly throws the veil over our excessive love for the negro, which is expressed by the lavish expen diitures which we nake for the educa tion of his children. Winsboro has couftributed per-hips, thousands of do) Jars for negro education, while that community neglects a poor old woman who didl more for her country than did the most famous Spartan mother. Winnsboro boasts of her schools and is proud of the enormous tax which she levies for educational purposes, but she lets an old woman, the mnother of six Confederate soldiers, suffer for the~ common necessities of life. But no matter for that, the "esteemed'' negro must be educated. We must levy an enormous tax'on the little liroperty of Confederate soldiers to educate ne gr~oes, and then dlistin~guished Southern gentlemen must volunteer to go to Washington, hat in hand, and beg fot mnore akl in the noble work. Northern men and Northern citizens p~ension their own soldiers, but we turn our' back on the disabled Oonfederate soldier, and those dependent upon him for' a subsIstence, in order that we may t he more liberally educate the esteemed negro. Such a course mnust win the everlastin g 'gratitude and~( sincere a p proval ofs honorable and high-mnded .Northern gentlemen. 'l 4e Con fede rate soldier..is~Ipdeed. axu orphan when his own State and his own former comn radv~s in arms cast him aside to starve in order that th'e esteemed negro ma~y be educated. Edpcationa is more im portant to the negro, thain is bread to the 'oute(1erate solier. While Winnsbhang htaSa of he schools, and while communities In oth er sections pohit to her example witl pride, Northern' Republicans, South ern traitors tnd infamous renegade may always depend upon car loads o educated negroes from Fairfield to res pond to. their call for witnesses in any effort to send South Carolina gentle men to the Albany penitentiary for n< greater offence Oilan that of voting foi Hugh S. Thompson tor Governor oi the State. This condltiQn of affairs must indee( be gratifying news to the most devoul negro worshipper of the North. Thi fact that a Confederate soldier's home In Winnsboro may be sold for negrt education must be all that the fondesi negro lover could deslre.-Abbeville Press and Banner.

A TEMPEaANCE Doa.-The Mon taguei (Georgia) Nor'thwest gives th< following account of a temnperance dog: 'L~ast Monday evening a strangel came into a saloon in Montague atu called for a (drink, which was hande< him. lHe raised the glass to his lips when a large dog took him by the col. lar and tried to pull him out of the door A crowd collected around and attempt. ed to take the .dog ofif, supposing it would hurt him; but the strange rsaid: 'Let him alone; he is my dog. I have been on a spree at Bowie, andl the doo pulled me out of the saloon there ani made me sober uad.'

Take a white -sponge of large size, and sow ii full of rice, hemp, canary, 'and othei acedls; then place it in a shallow dish, in whaich~ a little water is constantly kept, and as the spongs will absorb the moisture, the seed will begin to sprout Wheni this has taken place, the sponge may be suspended by cords andb hing where a little sunshine will enter. It will thus become a mass of greemg foli. age, and should be refreshed with wa. ter daily so as to be kept moist. I&OOD &.Coo Just Received : 5 Stan diard GU ANO. 0 A L:. L ANI) BFI Suipplie d.
