The <'®bs radon. It is no use disguising the fact that the radicals will make a tight this year all along tin line, In South Carolina. It is the last (banco for them. They know that defeat now mains political nnnihih- tion. They will leavo nothing undone to win. They will adopt all measure* and go to any length with ever so liltl* hope even reniote’y ahead of them. Deteat U reasonably sure, and a big defeat will aot hurt them worse thau simple de feat. They thatafore will play to wiu or loeeall. Everything that ingenuity can suggest and unacrupubu-* veeality aud brutality execute will be done to ac complish a radical victory. We know it is uureasooablt to anticipate that tha de mocracy will be defeated; but wo do not believe in taking any risks. The ranks ahoukl be closed up perfectly and kept ao, and the war ahonld be waged aggres sively from now ou. Tin; beat way to in- aura harmony and enthmdtMn is to fnrn- ish tho party with good leader*. It is no use to tell the pafty or tho convention whet goes to make up “good leaders.” Every member of tko democracy in old Barn well knows what that mean* as weii as wc do, and whoever may be given n« as standard bearers Tux People will be found supporting with all possible en thusiasm and diligence.

An impression prevails to some ex tent among a large number of what are kaowu aa society girls, that white lies are necessary; that in order to re ceive one's friends a la mode,an amount of fibbing and gushing, which would poll upon an uiiluitlated, sensible per son, Is expected, and therefore neces sary. In the first plans, is It expected ? Are not the majority of society girls sensible enough to understand the utt*r boilowneas of such manueiisua anddeprsolats them accordingly 1 In the accord place, granting that sensible girls do not piedopalnaft, Is it worth while, not to say necessary, to lose oue’f self-respect lyr to the enemy even the smallest portion of the fair \flrtuoof truth for any pur pose whatever—-feast of all for that moat ♦lifltng purpose that It is ex- f iected ? And would not even the most rlvoloua girl of society learn In time to hold In higher esteem an acquaint ance by whom she was universally re ceived cordially and poMtely, feeling sure that the attention tendered her was genuine, than one whoso utter fallacy was ooncoaled only Ly the thin veil of a caressing manner and honeyed word*? Unquestionably It sometimes re quires no scanty use of ingenuity to reconcile perfect truthfulness and the politeness society requires of us; but the fact that there are obstacles to bs overcome in order to reach the right, makes U by no means necessary to yield to the evil. This ia not a case where iu avoiding Scylla one must in evitably fall upon Gharybdis.

F. Crayton, of Anderson, opened the subject,; The first attempt to Introduce tho law In Anderson, ho said, was made about four years ago, when the measure Was defeated by the vote of, the people. A subsequent effort, however, bad met with more success, and the law had now been In operation for throe years, and it bad In that time received the hearty sup port. of nineteen oat of every twenty residents of tho County. At first it was violently opposed by the non-land holders, one of the grounds of their objection being that the law would effectually kill the supply of butter and milK. This was alia mistake. In the town of Piedmont, In Greenville county, recently, a record of the but ter received in one day was kept, and out of the niueteen pounds brought Into market eighty-five pounds came from Anderson county. There were many other advantages, resulting from the abolition of fences. Peace and plenty prevailed throughout tho county, there was no' riding through tho llelda, the lands were Improving and the best stock and cattle In the state was raised as was evidenced by the fact that at the last state fair An derson bore off b the premiums of fered for stock. jgt*bad been fround that small pastimes were preferable to large ons*. Another advantage, too, was in the saving of timber which un der the old system was required to fence the fields. It has been estimated that the fences in the county cost more than all tbe buildings in the same area, and again there was the saving of the hedge rows which when planted would raise enough bread to feed half the population of the county. The county had made In cotton alone from $100,000 to 8150,000 which under the old system would never have been gathered. Mr. W. W. Russell, of Anderson, a prominent planter and oWner of a dairy farm next related hi* experience. Tbe subject, be said, could not be mixed with politics for It originated with a IP*publican Legislature, and If it had worked oppressively to the negro it would have been quickly re pealed. He had been a successful com- E etitor at many state fairs, and he ad In the fourteen years of his ex- perieoceas a laroner always rigidly adhered to the practice of fencing up argl pasturing his stock and cattle. He advocated the dUcuesk<n of the mat ter throughout the entire state and contended'that the stock law u* now enforced in some of the counties guar anteed protection to the person and property et both landlords and ten- ante. As a result of tb* benefit to cattle, he said, that before the passage of the stock law ten head of beeves were required jn the village of Ander son every week. These wer* brought from the Blue Ridge Mountains. But since the adoption td th« stock taw the county furnished the beef, and not a single head of cattle had been brought acroea the mountain* The smaller tbe pasture tho better for cows. If a milch cow was placed in a fifty acre pasture she would grax* and roam over It all day, and It would require all she ate to keep her up. If she were pltowi la a pasture ten feet square the food would l* converted Into milk. Oow-twcnUetb of the fulls used In keeping up the old styla worm fences would bs ample to enclose all the ►dock In any souuty, aud the stock would bo much improved And th« crops Increased. Be straw of a ilrgle farmer la A ruler sou county who had secured fourteen bales of cotton that be never would have secured If the cattle bod been turned into the field under th* old stylo. There was not a single farm house lo tbe oounty but what was abundant ly supplied with milk and butter, of a quality that could nut be excelled. Ha huu himself been runniug a dalty farm, and bail been aeiltog buthrln Charleston and Cblumbia. Every far mer wbo lived under the old system bad to carry twice the number of cat tle to supply him with butter and milk, aud consequently had to carry so much dea i capital. In the space of ten mile*, he said, two farmers had taken off $&o,000 worth of timber on the lino of railway, which could not have been (pared if the fences bad U> be kept up. Mr. Hinson, of Charleston, said the first experiment In the stock law ever made iu this state whs made on the soacoast, early In tbe Perry adminis tration. It had worked well, and he bad hearten gentleman from the Blue Grass country of Kentucky say that he had never expected to see such cattle lu this state aa those which he saw on the sea Islands. Mr. A. M. Aiken, of Abbeville, said that there was no opposition in his county to the stock law, exoept ou the Edgefield border. Elsewhere It bud given entire satisfaction. Mr. J. N. Lipscomb, of Newberry, said that Newberry baif at first op posed tbe stock law, but since the law bad been enforced it had given satis faction. He thought it would be a fatal error to impose the law In a country where even a minority of the people were oppose to It. There was no question of the advantages of the law after the people became accustom ed to It. In Newberry, tbe negroes, who at first were bitterly opposed to It, were now Its strongest advocates and supporters, The cattle and stock in the country had improved. In York county, where tho system bad been longest tried, a single funow was more respected than a staked feace in Darlington. The new system forces a man to take care of* his cattle and, consequently, Increases ite value. In addition there were thousands of acres of land in Newberry planted now that would never have been planted under the old system, for the reason that the owners couldn’t afford to fence it, It had been urged that the result would be to destroy the forests, but this was a mistake. Tbe exper ience In Newberry proved that tbe lands freed from tbe deprivations of the ('attic and stock were growing up rapidly." It also made tbe people turn their attention more to forage and soil crops. — ——•S0V»' The Alabama Verdict. The bottomlese Weaver, who is at present engaged In being the candi date for president of that—In the lan guage of a Klecoased distinguished statesman—barren Ideality/j the greenback labor party, was proba bly subjected to a severe shock yes terday. By a mysterious and ponder ous process of reasoning he evolved from the vast and profound depths of his Inner consciousness an idea. It was that the abstraction above allud ed to-dbich he represents;' would I e victorious In the election In the state of Alabama, and he trlfimpbnntly pro claimed two or three weeks ago that ho was going there to see and conquer. Weaver prided hltnselr on Alabama. The teachings of his party had been widely inculcated Into, nnd absorbed by the eager populace, and he would either obtain a majority of tbe vote cast or scare tha democrat* so badly that, they would be completely de- rporallzed by the time of the general election. ..Day before yesterday Ala bama spoke, and Weaver doubtless heard her vloce. His own party, the Independents and the republicans, are crushed and buriqd by a democratic majority of fifty thousand ! What has become of Weaver and tho green- backers now? If a state they expect ed to win in defeated tbelr combina tion (the strongest they could possi bly make) by fifty thousand, what will South Carolina do with/hem ? According to the old song, “Will, the Weaver” was currently reported to be “a gay deceiver,” but tbe Weaver at present under consideration, seems to confine his deceptions entirely to himself. Apostle McLane and his emaciated party will please rise and explain the Alabama verdict, or re ceive sentence.--Greenville News. —Clothing for men and boys, from fine to common, at 10 per cent, below Augusta prices, at RubensUjin’s, Williston, 8.

Tbs writer, himself a sol dler, addresses himself mainly to sol diers of the late war and feels assuret they will understand and appreciate the justice of Mr. Creech’s claims.

He has faithfully discharged the duties of tbe office of Oounty Commissioner- one of no profit aod at groat aaertfle of his personal interests. Last b it not least his career ns a soldier in the in fautry branch of the service during the late war, in the hard fought and bloody fields ef Virginia aud Tenues see challenges comparison with any man In the field. He enlisted with Hagood’s 1st South Carolina volunteer regiment la tbe year 1861, am) was with that command through ail th* memorable campaigns In which his regiment participated In Virginia and Tennessee. He served as a private during the entire war ; received a gun shot wound through the leg at Wllle* Valley, TSoneseee, and at Fort Harr! soo, where Hays and Belljpper were killed and a host of other gftBant and true men. among them J. W. Rice and E. W. Itehlkig and others received desperate wound*. F. H. Creech fell as was supposed, mortsWy wounded from a gun shot wound,shattering his right arm and passing through hi* right lung, thereby entirely disabling him In tbe use of his arm so much so that be Is now unable to support him self by manual labor, much lees tbe large and dependent family on bis hands. In the campaign of 76, when our beloved Hampton wm* Inaegsrat ed and Carolina redeemed, be rataet a company of sixty men and tendered them u> the Governor for the use of our Btnte. It has been the universal custom In the Btate of Georgia to give such offices to competent disabled soldiers, as ao evidence of appreciation of such services In those trying times, and in submitting tbe claims of F. H. Creecb the writer cannot think tbe peopie of South Carolina are less patriotic. Thk Wildkrxks*. if Columbia iVl'tcgUxo, I Jon* C. Pavakt, ►ia, iff c. I r Barnwell C.’ft.,8.1 T. B.

Myers, Jr., is now be fore the public as a candidate for the popular branch of the General Assem bly, that there may be no misconstruc tion in future when the convention meets, it is ray desire, briefly and dis- tlrfctly, to state the circumstances that Influenced him before yielding his con sent to become a candidate for tbe Legislature. 1st. t was well known, as custom had affirmed tho light that there should be doe representative in the Legislature from the central or Court house section of the county. This has been the custom and the universal concession. 21. t was authentically known, that our present worthy representa tive from the central section of the county, had no desire and therefore would not consent, under any circum- stances, to be a candidate for re-elec tion. 3d. t wns well known and equally as well acknowledged, that the com petitors for the State Senate, repre sents no special section or locality, but such representation embraces the en tire county. The friends, as well as the opponentff Of the senatorial candi dates, together with the delegates composing the nominating convention therefore fully recognize the issues pending as between Senatorial and Representative candidacy, and the support claimed for tho respective positions of honor. Consequently, the claims for tho Senatorial support does not necessarily entitle the unsuccess ful candidate for the Senate, to the support or nomination to tho popular branch of the Lrglslaturo. An adverse conclusion would be unjust to the con vention, and it would be but erecting it info a mere political "chance med ley,” clothing each candidate with the character of an ‘ Oliver Optics,” ever watchful, anxiously awaiting for some thing advantagous to turn up; or when unsuccessful, remains supremely conten ted, |be Is but lo eaee himself out of a defeat by graciously accepting the next lower seat, which your sub- ecriber thinks tho people jef Barnwell county an* jpullgent enough t« non- c«Iy®v Facts, Out of 3,noo bale* of cotton soW In oo< week in AtlouU. l,i«0 sold as btalusd duaty at a loss of on* half cAot per lt>.
